The emergence of Kosovo as a modern nation-state is a recent development, tracing its immediate roots to the 1990s. At this time Kosovo was still a province of Serbia and under the authority of Serbia’s leader, Slobodan Milosevic. Milosevic went to extreme measures to put down the insurgency that had arisen in Kosovo in the form of the Kosovo Liberation Army: he authorized the massacre and expulsion of tens of thousands of ethnic Albanians from Kosovo. The international community reacted and NATO commenced a three-month bombing campaign against Serbia in 1999, resulting in Milosevic’s withdrawal from Kosovo. UN Resolution 1244 placed Kosovo under the authority of the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, maintaining the territorial integrity of Serbia but giving UNMIK, as it is called, complete control over the affairs of Kosovo
