Kosovo

Kosovo is the world's second youngest country, having declared independence from Serbia in 2008. Kosovo is a small, land-locked country in the Balkans, a region located in southern Europe that made up part of former Yugoslavia. For its tiny landmass (roughly 4,200 square miles), Kosovo has a varied topography, ranging from vast plains to picturesque mountains along its northwest and southern borders. Kosovo has had a tumultuous history, and most people know of Kosovo from the atrocities that took place during the Kosovo War during the 1990s. Kosovo as an independent country has emerged as one of the world's youngest democracies.
