Kosovo's Future Status and U.S. Policy

Abstract

The future status of Kosovo is perhaps the most sensitive and potentially destabilizing political question in the Balkans. The Administration views "getting Kosovo right" as key to integrating the Balkans into Euro-Atlantic institutions. This report discusses the issue of Kosovo's future status; that is, whether it should become an independent country, or have some form of autonomy within Serbia. Talks on Kosovo's status could begin in January 2006, and are expected to be concluded by the end of the year. The second session of the 109th Congress may consider legislation on Kosovo's status. This report will be updated as events warrant.
