Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, and the United States recognized Kosovo as an independent state on February 18, 2008. The UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), pursuant to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244, continues to provide support during the transition period, as the International Civilian Office, European Rule of Law Mission (EULEX), and NATO (KFOR) prepare to supervise Kosovo’s independence. At this time, some civilian institutions, including the criminal justice system, are not functioning at a level consistent with Western standards. Kosovo is a cash economy. The currency used throughout Kosovo is the euro.
