  1. ^ The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as a sovereign state by 111 UN member states (with another two states recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition) and 82 states not recognizing it, while Serbia continues to claim it as a part of its own territory.
