KOSOVO-SERBIA-INDEPENDENCE-ANNIVERSARY
Kosovo Albanian children wave an Albanian flag from a car in the town of Mitrovica on February 17, 2010 as Kosovo today marks the second anniversary of its unilateral declaration of independence from Serbia. Kosovo, an ethnic Albanian-majority province of Serbia, proclaimed independence unilaterally on February 17, 2008 in a Western-backed move seen as the final chapter in the bloody breakup of Yugoslavia. Belgrade was forced to relinquish Kosovo in 1999 after Serb troops were ousted by a NATO-led bombing campaign. After nine years under the administration of the United Nations, which still maintains a heavy presence, Kosovo declared independence but it was never accepted by Serbia which runs a parallel administration in the areas with Serb majorities.
