^ ابجدIn 2008, Kosovo declared independence from صربيا. Although Kosovo's sovereignty has been recognized by about 65 states, it is not a member of the الأمم المتحدة and Serbia disputes its sovereignty, claiming that Kosovo remains one of its provinces. The dispute has been referred to the محكمة العدل الدولية. For purposes of this list, Kosovo is considered to be a sovereign country. If Kosovo is considered part of Serbia, some numbers in the table would be reduced by one (e.g., when a state borders both Serbia and Kosovo). Other numbers would remain the same (e.g., when a state borders Kosovo but not Serbia).
