Kosovo Independence Day


Kosovo Independence Day is a national independence day celebrated in Kosovo every 17 February.

Background

is the second youngest country in the world and the youngest country in Europe to have been recognized. After an 2008 referendum, Kosovo declared Independence on 17th February 2008. However, Serbia didn't like the Kosovo's partial recognition as an independent state and neither did some other nations including Russia. After the controversy, the UN court ruled out on 22nd July 2010 that Kosovo did not violate International Law and it is legal.
