The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. Kosovar Canadians are likely to identify as Albanian Canadians instead, as Kosovars are ethnic Albanians.
