The United States and 22 of the 27 European Union countries have recognized Kosovo\u2019s independence. The Kosovo government claims that 98 countries in all have extended diplomatic recognition to it. EULEX, a European Union-led law-and-order mission, is tasked with improving the rule of law in Kosovo. KFOR, a NATO-led peacekeeping force that includes more than 700 U.S. soldiers, has the mission of providing a secure environment.\nSerbia strongly objects to Kosovo\u2019s declaration of independence. It has used diplomatic means to try to persuade countries to not recognize Kosovo. It has retained parallel governing institutions in Serb-majority areas in Kosovo. Since March 2011, the EU has mediated negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo. The agreements reached include ones on free movement of persons, customs stamps, recognition of university diplomas, cadastre (real estate) records, civil registries (which record births, deaths, marriages, etc. for legal purposes), integrated border/boundary management, and on regional cooperation. However, the accords have not been implemented or only partly implemented. \nOn April 19, 2013, Kosovo and Serbia reached a key agreement on normalizing relations. The agreement calls for the abolishing of the parallel institutions and the establishment of an \u201cAssociation/Community\u201d of Serb-majority municipalities within Kosovo, which would function according to Kosovo\u2019s laws. Most Kosovo Serb leaders are strongly against the agreement, and its implementation is uncertain. \nKosovo faces other daunting challenges, aside from those posed by its struggle for international recognition and the status of its ethnic minorities. According to reports by the European Commission, the country suffers from weak institutions, including the judiciary and law enforcement. Kosovo has high levels of government corruption and powerful organized crime networks. Many Kosovars are poor and reported unemployment is very high. \nThe United States has supported the EU-brokered talks between Serbia and Kosovo, but has stressed that it is an observer, not a participant in them. On September 10, 2012, the White House issued a statement by President Obama hailing the end of international supervision of Kosovo. He said Kosovo has made \u201csignificant progress\u201d in \u201cbuilding the institutions of a modern, multi-ethnic, inclusive and democratic state.\u201d He added Kosovo had more work to do in ensuring that the rights enshrined in the country\u2019s constitution are realized for every citizen. President Obama also called on Kosovo to continue to work to resolve outstanding issues with its neighbors, especially Serbia. U.S. officials hailed the April 19, 2013, agreement between Serbia and Kosovo on normalizing relations.\nSince U.S. recognition of Kosovo\u2019s independence in 2008, congressional action on Kosovo has focused largely on foreign aid appropriations legislation. For FY2013, the Administration requested a total of $57.669 million for Kosovo. Of this amount, $42.544 million is aid for political and economic reforms from the Economic Support Fund, $10.674 million from the International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement account, $0.7 million in IMET military training aid, $3 million in Foreign Military Financing, and $0.75 million in NADR aid to assist non-proliferation and anti-terrorism efforts. In its FY2014 budget, the Administration aid request for Kosovo includes $41 million in ESF funding, $10.7 million from the INCLE account, $0.75 million in IMET aid, and $4 million in FMF.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": true, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/RS21721", "sha1": "cec047792e6d9073f2b906cf7bb9603e0d17911f", "filename": "files/20130507_RS21721_cec047792e6d9073f2b906cf7bb9603e0d17911f.html", "images": null }, { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/RS21721", "sha1": "02a8e873dc34858f2c311bc2df1519c74e5fd9a3", "filename": "files/20130507_RS21721_02a8e873dc34858f2c311bc2df1519c74e5fd9a3.pdf", "images": null } ], "topics": [ { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4636, "name": "Europe: Regional Policy, Bilateral Relations, and Key Issues" } ] }, { "source": "University of North Texas Libraries Government Documents Department", "sourceLink": "https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc462979/", "id": "RS21721_2013Jan23", "date": "2013-01-23", "retrieved": "2014-12-05T09:57:41", "title": "Kosovo: Current Issues and U.S. Policy", "summary": "This report discusses the current political state of Kosovo, which, on February 7, 2008, declared its independence from Serbia.
