 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that by illegally revoking the autonomy of Kosova in 1989 and undertaking other unconstitutional actions, by officially and harshly discriminating against the majority ethnic Albanians in Kosova, and by committing numerous crimes against humanity, including ethnic cleansing, against the people of Kosova, Serbia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), especially as ruled by Slobodan Milosevic, have forfeited any right to govern or to determine political status of the territory of Kosova.

Urges the United States to support: (1) the right of self-determination for Kosova and its people; (2) an interim agreement on the status of Kosova that supports the principle of self-determination by taking specified steps; and (3) such representation for Kosova in international institutions as is consistent with Kosova's exercise of the legitimate right of self-determination.
