I guess you don't mean Bosnia (T9) but Kosovo
(YU8). Formally an autonomous province of Serbia, but practically
self-governed under supervision of the UN.
Time will tell, but my two cents we will have DXCC
337 here.

independence
I FEEL SORRY FOR THE BOSNIAN HAMS, THEY ALSO DESERVED TO BE THE "NEW"
DXCC COUNTRY, INDEED..
Just
an FYI from the day's news:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060603/ap_on_re_eu/montenegro_independence
PODGORICA, Serbia-Montenegro - Montenegro's parliament declared
independence for the tiny Balkan republic Saturday, forming a new European
state and dissolving what was left of the former Yugoslavia.
The
assembly adopted a declaration of independence, verifying the results of a
May 21 referendum in which Montenegrins supported a split from Serbia by a
slim margin. The document envisages Montenegro as a "multiethnic,
multicultural and multireligious society ... based on the rule of law and
market economy."
After the assembly meeting, authorities raised a
red-and-gold Montenegrin flag over the parliament building and played the
ancient Montenegrin anthem "Oh, The Bright May Dawn" as
fireworks exploded in the sky.
The declaration says Montenegro's
strategic national goal is integration into the European
Union and NATO, and
the new country will immediately apply for admission into the United
Nations and other international organizations.
(Once
admitted, this will fulfill DXCC entry criteria item 1A , so get those amps
fired up and those databases edited! Luckily, this will be an easy All-Time
New One :-)). Wonder what the new prefix(es) will be?
Cheers,
Peter,
