- 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 Americans are likely to identify as simply Albanian Americans instead, as the majority of Kosovars are ethnic Albanians.
