[edit] Neutrality disputed / Current events
I'll add a tag that the neutrality of this article is disputed and that this article refers to a current event. This is a logical consequence of the current presence of these tags in the article on Serbia as a result of the Kosovar declaration of independence. Klungel (talk) 17:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Kosovo
[edit] Map
Kosovo is a sovereign and independent state. Therefore, Kosovo should not appear on Serbia's map. Please, update the maps. --Arbër (Let's Talk) 11:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- Kosovo is a partially recognized self-declared state. Wikipedia can not take a position on whether it is a legitimate state. I will put back another map, showing Kosovo as an autonomous province of Serbia. Both should remain. Superm401 - Talk 12:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] History of Kosovo
There is a section on the box "Republic of Serbia" about the History of Vojvodina and the History of Kosovo. While the former is a region that belongs to Serbia, the latter declared independence. Therefore, Kosovo's history should not appear anywhere in this article...--Arbër (Let's Talk) 11:03, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Arber is absolutly right, Kosovo fulfills the all attributes of a state - it has a defined territory, a defined people and defined government that conducts international relations with other states.
The only countries that refuse to accept it are countries without a vested interest in preventing the right of countries to declare independence, bacaue they have provinces which might want to breakaway, for example:
Canada with Quebec; Spain with the Basque Country; Serbia which claims Kosovo; Bonsia with the Republic of Srpska; Russia with Chechnya; Cyprus with Northern Cyprus; Sri Lanka with the Tamil Northern areas; China with Taiwan and Tibet; Azerbajan with Nagorno-Karabakh; Georgia with South Ossetia and Abkhazia Moldova with Transnistria
Countries without a vested interest in preventing independence have invariably recognized the independence of Kosovo. There is no chance that Kosovo will not achieve universal recognition shortly - most countries who have not yet recognised Kosovo have explicitly stated that the will not be among the first to do so, so as not to *support" independence. In three months, one year's time, will anyone say Kosovo is not independent. No - those who currently deny its independence will shorty find themselves standing on the wrong side of history. 2007apm (talk) 20:22, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
