Kosovo Assigned 'KV' Code

21 February 2008 Pristina _ Kosovo's international indexing code will be KV, the United States Intelligence and Research Bureau writes.

Kosovo has been added to the list of independent countries on the U.S.. Department of State website, and assigned the KV code, by which countries are identified.

KV will be the U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard code for the Republic of Kosovo.

Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on February 17, and the United States, together with a handful of European Union members and other countries, have recognised its new status.
