The districts of Kosovo (Albanian: Rajon, Regjion or Qark; Serbian Cyrillic: Округ, transliterated: Okrug or Region) are the higher-level administrative divisions of both the Kosovo (UNMIK) protectorate and the partially recognized Republic of Kosovo over the earlier territory (1990 to 1999) of the Serbian Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija.
Kosovo is further divided into municipalities (Albanian: Komuna, Serbian: Oпштина, transliterated: Opstina). Under the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), established in 1999, new districts were formed in 2000.
Famous quotes containing the word divisions:
“I find myself ... hoping a total end of all the unhappy divisions of mankind by party-spirit, which at best is but the madness of many for the gain of a few.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
