UN-administered Kosovo

Municipalities within five original UNMIK regions (1999-2008)

Since 1999, the UN-administered Kosovo was divided into five UNMIK regions (centered in: Gjilan, Mitrovica, Peja, Pristina, Prizren), that were headed by regional administrators. In the same time, on the municipal level of administrative division, municipal administrators were also appointed, and in 2000 territorial scopes of all (at that time 30) municipalities in the UN-administered Kosovo were regulated by UNMIK. ^{[1] [2]}

UNMIK administrative divisions of Kosovo, that were introduced since 1999, were not always identical with previous administrative divisions, that existed in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija.
