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
