The Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, often shorted to Kosovo, is an autonomous region of Serbia that is currently occupied by NATO.[1]
History
Until 1992, Kosovo was an autonomous region of the Socialist Republic of Serbia within Yugoslavia. In 1999, Serbian leader Slobodan Milošević surrendered to NATO after the United States bombed Serbia for 78 days. NATO divided Kosovo into five zones occupied by the USA, UK, France, Germany, and Italy. They installed the fascist Kosovo Liberation Army as the new government of Kosovo.[1]
