Vetëvendosje (Albanian: Lëvizja Vetëvendosje, lit. 'Self-Determination Movement', LVV or VV) is a left-leaning democratic socialist political party in Kosovo. It is a member of the Progressive Alliance, and an observer in the Party of European Socialists, and the Socialist International.

i didn't know that Kosovo is 90% Albanian.

Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on 17 February 2008. As of 4 September 2020, 114 UN states recognised its independence, including all of its immediate neighbours, with the exception of Serbia; 10 states have subsequently withdrawn that recognition. Of the UN Security Council members, while the US, UK and France do recognise Kosovo's independence, Russia and China do not. Since declaring independence, it has become a member of international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, though not of the United Nations.

i guess it's independent only because it would be more problematic to separate it from Serbia to unite it with Albania.

I guess i gave up during post-Yugoslavia confusion. I still can't show on a map which one is which 🤷
