The Republic of Kosovo is a small, landlocked nation in southeastern Europe bordering Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, and Albania. In this parliamentary republic, Kosovo’s president holds the position as chief of state while the prime minister holds the head of state position. The population of Kosovo is estimated to be approximately 1.9 million.
Kosovo was once the center of the Serbian Empire. However, when Serbian forces lost the Battle of Kosovo, Kosovo fell under the Ottoman rule, and Turks and Albanians began immigrating to Kosovo. Eventually, Albanians became the dominant ethnic group, replacing the Serbs. In 1912, Serbia reacquired Kosovo from the Ottoman Empire and, following World War II, Kosovo became a province of Serbia. Political hostility between the Serbs and the Albanian nationalists, who sought independence for Kosovo, continued to increase from the 1980s into the early 1990s. In 1998, Albanians revolted against the Serbian rule, and Serbia responded by launching a campaign to counter the Albanian insurgency. NATO military intervention forced the withdrawal of Serbian military forces from Kosovo. In February 2008, Kosovo was declared independent. Kosovo continues to restore and improve relations with the international community, particularly with Serbia.
Although tourism is a small, but growing, sector of the economy, adventurous travellers may enjoy exploring the history, architecture and stunning landscapes of Europe’s newest country.

Do not accept drinks or food from strangers and never leave your drinks out of your sight.
Road travel outside of urban areas can be unsafe due to poor road conditions, continual road repair, unpredictable weather changes, and lack of driver caution.
Although all roads and tracks have been cleared of landmines, unmaintained and rarely-travelled roads, especially those in the bordering regions, may not be cleared. Avoid these unfrequented areas.
If choosing to participate in outdoor adventure activities, always do so with a group and a professional guide. Ensure travel and medical insurance is purchased before departing and ensure your insurance policy covers outdoor adventure activities, including medical evacuation.
