I agree with the above statements. It is officially Republic of Kosova, I say it is more than a ""self-declared"" independent state but an actual independent country. That much must surely be enough to appease the Serbian nationalists who are trying to control the look of the page. Obviously Kosova is as legally a country as they come because as we've said many times before, the western democracies recognize the state. America would never recognize such rogue states as Abkhazia or South Ossetia or Turkish Northern Cyrpus or rebel areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan! The Serbs are not in Kosova and if they were, it would constitute an occupation, rather like the one they did in the 1990s after Milosevic invaded it and ""joined it"" to Serbia in his Greater Serbia plan. It is crazy to use the word ""dispute"" just to please a minority (limited Serbs and some apalling allies).   "
