Notes[]
a. | ^ Kosovo's status is controversial. After a group of people "leaders of our people, democratically elected" declared independence in 2008 under the name of the Republic of Kosovo, it is formally recognised as an independent state of 97 UN member states (with 15 others that recognized it at one point but then withdrew recognition), while Serbia continues to claim to be part of its own sovereign territory called the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metochia. |
