Kosovo’s government has begun its first nationwide census since 2011 which will include surveying the ethnic Serb minority in the north
Kosovo's government began Friday its first nationwide census since 2011 which will include surveying the ethnic Serb minority in the north. This comes as tensions with neighboring Serbia remain high. The Agency of Statistics is conducting the 12-million Euro census, originally set to take place in 2021 but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Kosovo was a former Serbian province until a 78-day NATO bombing campaign in 1999 ended a war between Serbian government forces and ethnic Albanian separatists in Kosovo and pushed Serbian forces out. Belgrade does not recognize Kosovo’s 2008 independence. Hazbije Qeriqi, the agency spokesperson, said they hoped for 'a positive response from everybody.” In 2011 Kosovo had 1.74 million registered residents, of which nearly 1.5% are ethnic Serbs.
