History
The line between the central People's Republic of Serbia and the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija was established in 1945, with minor border changes occurring in 1959. After the Kosovo War in 1999, the Kumanovo Agreement established the line as a border under security supervision, creating a Ground Safety Zone (GSZ) enforced by KFOR. Today, it is protected by the Integrated Border Management (IBM) checkpoint systems established through the Brussels Dialogue since 2011.
Notes
- While the Kosovo government and countries that recognize the independence of Kosovo call this line the border, international missions under the mandate of the United Nations (UNMIK, EULEX and KFOR) use the term Administrative Boundary Line (ABL). This terminology was adopted in order to preserve status neutrality in accordance with Resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council, which does not prejudge the final status of the territory, which Serbia considers its Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija.
- There is a difference in the information about its length. While civil and cadastral registers often state a figure of around 381 km, official KFOR measurements based on military-operational maps define this line as 351.6 km long.
