Kosovo



Kosovois a disputed territory in the Balkans.

Kosovo borders Albania to the west, Central Serbia to the north and east, the Republic of Macedonia to the south, and Montenegro to the northwest. The largest city and the capital of Kosovo is Pristina while other cities include Peć, Prizren, and Kosovska Mitrovica.
