The Issue of Problematic States: Kosovo - A Failed State? Political and Economic Analysis - Outline of Problem
Wiktor Hebda

Abstract
This paper explains how the current situation in Kosovo confirms that it is a failed state. Political and socio-economic factors of Kosovo were taken into account, mainly after 2008. Discussions on Kosovo's sovereignty have been going on for many years. Most topic experts agree with the statement that an independent Kosovo has created a dangerous precedent, which can be used by other separatist movements. Until 2008, Kosovo was part of Serbia and for many years had been a highly divisive and economically backward area. The proclamation of independence by Kosovo Albanians in no way helped to change the negative aspects of Kosovo. Moreover, the situation in some political as well as economic and social aspects deteriorated even further. Based on the information available in the field of Kosovo's domestic and foreign policy and economic data, the author argues that this former autonomous province of Serbia, now a sovereign Kosovo meets the conditions in favour of the failed state.
