Notes

  1. Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognized as an independent state by 97 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 112 UN member states recognized Kosovo at some point, of which 15 later withdrew their recognition.
gollark: The most you get with that here, generally, is Spirit pointing out that everything you said was completely wrong, but with political stuff people disagree on a lot of things in ways which are hard to reconcile.
gollark: People disagree on politics more than... science things, I guess.
gollark: I mean, I'm just generally... in favour of free speech, not nazism or whatever?
gollark: If freedom of speech extends to freedom of *communication* too you should probably also ban, say, computer viruses.
gollark: That's also separate from being free to *believe* things you might not agree with.
