科索沃共和國

位於巴爾幹半島中部,過去幾世紀因為宗教、文化等淵源,和俄羅斯保有一定程度的友好關係。不過塞爾維亞其實相當為難。他們希望和西方國家建立更強的連結,但一方面擔心俄羅斯會生氣,另一方面,西方國家都承認科索沃主權,不符合塞爾維亞的利益。所以一直以來塞爾維亞都採取保守親俄的立場。不過俄烏戰爭爆發後,塞爾維亞也站出來譴責俄羅斯,試圖拉近與西方國家的距離。為了不再依賴俄羅斯,塞爾維亞於2022年轉向與中國購買武器,成為第一個使用中國飛彈系統的歐洲國家。
看2022Year Founded: 2008
Situated in the Balkans, Kosovo was originally populated by Albanians. The arrival of Serbian immigrants in droves after the Bosnian War later triggered the Kosovo War in 1999. After the war, Kosovo was placed under a transitional administration, first the UN, then NATO. In 2008, it unilaterally declared independence from Serbia. Currently more than 90 UN member states recognize Kosovo, including Western powers like the United States, Canada, Germany and France. Taiwan also recognizes Kosovo's sovereignty. From 2016 onward, national teams from Kosovo officially participated in the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics.
