Notes

a. ^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Serbia and the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo. The latter declared

independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. Kosovo's independence has been

recognised by 103 out of 193 United Nations member states.
