Explanation

Kosovo was an autonomous province within the Republic of Serbia under the constitutional framework of the former Yugoslavia. Following years of ethnic conflict and the Kosovo War in the late 1990s, the territory was placed under United Nations administration. On February 17, 2008, Kosovo formally declared its independence from Serbia. While many countries recognize Kosovo as a sovereign state, Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. Therefore, Serbia is the country from which Kosovo declared independence.
