RODRIGUES, Sónia. Kosovo’s democratic transition. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2008, n.20, pp.85-95. ISSN 1645-9199.

The democratization process which was launched by the United Nations mission in Kosovo on June 10, 1999 and the unilateral declaration of independence of the Serbian province on February 17, 2008 are the landmarks that signal the democratic transition and the creation of the new state in Kosovo. International recognition of Pristina’s declaration in contested by the Serb political elite, while at the same time the democratic government of Serbia is making good progress in its process of European integration, as shown by the arrest and extradition of Radovan Karadzic.
