KOSOVO: Between universal non-recognition and ‘derecognitions

This paper intends, first and foremost, to provide a theoretical framework related to the concepts of recognition and derecognition. Furthermore, the paper addresses the challenges that Kosovo has faced in relation to the consolidation of statehood, due to the lack of universal recognition. Furthermore, the paper provides a perspective on the developments and evolution of the dialogue process between Kosovo and Serbia, from the beginning of the technical process to the efforts to reach a final agreement, as well as linking the dialogue process with international recognition, i.e. non-recognition of Kosovo.
