Kosovo, Landlocked country in Southeast Europe.

Kosovo lies in the central part of the Balkans, featuring mountains in the west and south, while agricultural plains stretch across the eastern region.

Following the collapse of Yugoslavia and years of conflict, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, becoming Europe's newest sovereign state.

The National Library of Kosovo in Pristina displays architecture that combines Byzantine and Islamic elements, representing the multicultural identity of the region.

Seven administrative districts divide Kosovo into distinct regions, with Pristina serving as the central hub for government services and international connections.

The Newborn Monument in Pristina changes its appearance annually through different artistic designs, marking the years since Kosovo declared independence.
