    After a long and bloody struggle for self-determination, on Feb. 17, 2008, the region of Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia. The move marked the final stage in the dismemberment of the former Yugoslavia, 17 years after the process began.

    Kosovo, a land of 2.8 million people, has been under United Nations protections since 1999 after NATO intervened to halt Slobodan Milosevic’s repression of the province’s ethnic Albanians, who make up about 95 per cent of its population. Ever since NATO's bombing campaign forced Mr. Milosevic to halt his violent crackdown, the question had been whether the region would eventually break away.

    In their push for independence, Kosovo’s leaders was supported by the European Union and Washington. But the idea was vehemently opposed by Serbia and its ally Moscow. Serbia, which has long regarded Kosovo as its medieval heartland, argued that a unilateral declaration of independence would breach international law and spur secessionist movements across the world.

    In July 2010, the United Nation's highest court ruled that Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence did not violate international law. But in its decision, the International Court of Justice avoided saying that the state of Kosovo was legal under international law, a narrow and carefully calibrated compromise that could allow both sides to declare victory in a dispute that remains raw even 11 years after the war there ended.

    Political analysts said the advisory opinion, passed in a 10-to-4 vote by the court judges, is likely to spur other countries to recognize Kosovo's independence. Of the 192 countries in the United Nations General Assembly, so far only 69, including the United States and a majority of European Union nations, have recognized Kosovo
