Note about Kosovo: At the end of WWI, Yugoslavia was established and Kosovo was an Autonomous Province within Yugoslavia. In 1992, Yugoslavia split into several republics including Serbia that has Kosovo within its territory. However, over the years, ethnical conflict arose between the Albanians and Serbs within Kosovo that eventually led to the Kosovo War in 1998-1999, which finally led to the establishment of a UN peacekeeping mission in Kosovo. In 2008, Kosovo made a Self-Declaration as an Independent Country, which gained recognition from many countries, especially from countries that belong to the USA Coalition, but despite it, until today, Serbia claims Sovereignty of Kosovo.
