The society of Kosovo has undergone considerable changes over the last centuries, one of the most notable being the increasing level of secularity.[1] The national identity revolves more around the language and culture, than the religion.[2]
Due to Albanians making up the majority of Kosovo's population, the culture tends to be Albanian with slight variations.

Annotations
- The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Kosovo is formally recognised as an independent state by 101 out of 193 (52.3%) UN member states (with another 13 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing their recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own territory.
