Kosovo declares independence from Serbia

On February 17, 2008 the Assembly of Kosovo declared independence from Serbia. While Serbia denounced the declaration as illegal, the international community has remained divided on this issue. Several nations including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Taiwan, and Turkey have recognized Kosovo's independence, but others such as Russia maintain that the declaration violates international law. The majority of countries and international organizations, including the UN, have yet to take a position on the legality of Kosovo's independence. The Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo went into effect on June 15, 2008. Read the Kosovo Declaration of Independence.

US Supreme Court ruled on equal Congressional districts
