Sažetak

The Balkan region, particularly the ongoing disputes between Kosovo and Serbia, poses intricate legal and geopolitical challenges affecting regional stability and international relations. This Article examines the legal aspects of these disputes, focusing on statehood, recognition, human rights, and the necessity of a special tribunal within the setting of the region's complex history. Although 22 of 27 EU member states recognize its sovereignty, key actors, including Serbia and five EU states, do not, hindering Kosovo's EU membership prospects. UNSC Resolution 1244 complicates Kosovo’s path to statehood, making dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina essential for progress. Geopolitical tensions are heightened by Serbia's alliances with Russia and China. Meanwhile, Kosovo’s outreach to Taiwan raises legal questions tied to the One-China policy. The proposed European Energy Resilience Fund (EERF) could help counter energy supply disruptions caused by sanctions. Furthermore, the EU’s enlargement policy, along with EULEX’s role, complicates Kosovo’s path to lasting peace. This paper will analyze the Kosovo's legitimacy and support its EU integration and regional security goals.
