 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) by illegally revoking the autonomy of Kosova, undertaking other unconstitutional actions, and flagrantly violating the human rights of the people of Kosova, Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia have forfeited the legitimate right to govern or to determine political status of the territory of Kosova; and (2) the United States should support the right of self-determination for the people of Kosova, support any resolution of the question of the status of Kosova that is arrived at by means of legitimate acts of self-determination, including a free and fair referendum, encourage other countries to support the right of self-determination for the people of Kosova, and support such representation of Kosova in international institutions as is consistent with the exercise of the legitimate right of self-determination by the people of Kosova.
