Foreign relations of the Republic of Kosovo
On 17 February 2008, the Assembly of Kosovo, a body of the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government under the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), declared independence from Serbia. This move was controversial among the international community. The Republic of Kosovo has been recognised by 86 UN member states and the Republic of China (Taiwan).
Additionally some countries that don't recognise the Republic of Kosovo (PR China, Russia, Romania, Slovakia, Greece), maintain non-diplomatic official "liaison offices" in Kosovo.
Kosovo maintains a number of diplomatic missions abroad and several countries have embassies or representative offices in Pristina.
