About country
Kosovo is a landlocked country in Southeast Europe, recognized by a partial number of countries. Its history traces back to the ancient Dardani, establishing a kingdom that later became part of the Roman Empire. The region experienced various periods of rule, including Ottoman and Yugoslav control, leading to tensions and conflict in the late 20th century. Kosovo declared its independence in 2008, a move that remains contested internationally. The economy is largely based on services, construction, and international aid, with ongoing efforts to develop its infrastructure and attract foreign investment.
