| History of Kosovo |
|---|
The Republic of Kosova (Albanian: Republika e Kosovës), also known as the First Republic of Kosovo (Albanian: Republika e Parë e Kosovës), was a self-declared proto-state in Southeast Europe established in 1991. During its peak, it tried to establish its own parallel political institutions in opposition to the institutions of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija held by Yugoslavia's Republic of Serbia.
