As explaining the Kosovo borders can be bulky and with many of the terms not universally acceptable here, I would like to know how editors feel about this idea. Whenever discussing border crossings with the three non-disputed neighbours which all recognise Kosovo (Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia), the Kosovo template note suffices. On articles such as this and for all others concerning Serbia as controlled from Belgrade, that note doesn't fit in anywhere. Plain old "border" is used in sources but so are rerefernces to Kosovo as a country. On here we exercise tact and refer to the partially recognised state for the Republic of Kosovo on administrative matters, and the disputed region for the land itself or for non-administrative subjects. "Border", like "country" is defining in that it suggests a final status in black and white. Qualifiers such as administrative are fine by me but are dismissed by some editors as "weasel wording" and this might be leaning in the direction of a Serbian position because in truth, the administrative zones date back to 1999 when Yugoslavia withdrew all security forces pursuant to the Kumanovo agreement subsequently making Kosovo a separate entity from that point. Just now as I edited Vehicle registration plates of Kosovo I spotted what I hope might be the solution. On that article, the term "contested border" sits comfortably with no edit-warring taking place over it. It doesn't deny the republic, it doesn't deny Serbia's claim of Res. 1244, it is de facto operative no matter who controls it, and it is short and easy to type without long explanations. Can I see how editors feel about that suggestion?

It looks like sources generally do call it an "administrative border" -- WhiteWriter speaks 23:21, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
The crisis in northern Kosovo is not finished until you create the Community of Serb municipalities, Kosovo. They are still in the course of the protests and barricades. I am an eyewitness.-- 79.101.223.175 ( talk) 13:06, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
