What is the relationship between Kosovo and Serbia? Why can Serbia influence the Kosovo government?

Kosovo is an autonomous province in southern Serbia, the former Yugoslav Federation. 1998 conflict broke out between local Albanian separatist forces and government forces, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization militarily intervened in bombing Yugoslavia.

In order to end the Kosovo war, the United Nations Security Council adopted resolution 1244 in June 1999. The Yugoslav army and police forces withdrew from Kosovo, the United Nations took over Kosovo, and the NATO-led Kosovo Peace Implementation Force provided security. Kosovo unilaterally declared "independence" in February 2008, which was recognized by the United States and some other western countries. Serbia has always insisted on sovereignty over Kosovo.

Extended data:

The relationship between Serbia and Kosovo has always been hostile, and it has been hostile to each other for more than 20 years. With the strong support of Russia, Serbia refused to recognize Kosovo's independent status, and NATO countries also regarded Serbia as a different kind, and regarded Serbia as a dagger and sharp knife laid by Russia in Europe. Serbia was once Russia's most staunch ally.

The Kosovo Assembly also passed a bill to upgrade the "security forces" to "regular troops", and its tasks will also be changed to "national defense". Serbia strongly opposes Kosovo's "army building" and condemns this move for undermining regional stability.
