Transnational Issues Serbia and Montenegro
Disputes - international:
the future status of Kosovo remains an unresolved issue in South
Central Europe with Kosovo Albanians overwhelmingly supporting and
Serbian officials opposing Kosovo independence; the international
community has agreed to begin a process to determine final status
only after significant progress has been made in solidifying
multi-ethnic democracy in Kosovo as outlined in the policy of
"standards before status"; the Contact group (including the US, UK,
France, Germany, Italy, and Russia) will review progress on the
UNMIK standard around mid-2005; ethnic Albanians in Kosovo resist
demarcation of the F.Y.R.O.M. boundary in accordance with the 2000
delimitation treaty, which transfers on net a small amount of land
to F.Y.R.O.M.; Serbia and Montenegro have delimited about half of
the boundary with Bosnia and Herzegovina, but sections along the
Drina River remain in dispute
