Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008. The declaration of independence came after a period of international administration and conflict. Kosovo had been under United Nations administration since 1999, following the Kosovo War and the NATO intervention.
On 17 February 2008, the Assembly of Kosovo adopted a declaration of independence, asserting that Kosovo was an independent and sovereign state. This move was supported by several Western countries, including the United States and many European nations. However, Serbia and some other countries, including Russia and China, did not recognize Kosovo's independence, leading to ongoing diplomatic and political tensions.
