==Potential assignment of an official ISO 3166-1 code for Kosovo==

According to rules of procedure followed by the [[ISO 3166]] [[International Organization for Standardization|Maintenance Agency]], a new [[ISO 3166-1]] code for Kosovo will be issued once it appears in the UN Terminology Bulletin "Country Names" or in the UN Statistics Division's "list of Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use".<ref>[http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/iso_3166-faqs/iso_3166_faqs_general.htm General Questions], ISO – Maintenance Agency for ISO 3166 country codes</ref> To appear in the terminology bulletin, Kosovo must either (a) be admitted into the United Nations, (b) join a [[List of specialized agencies of the United Nations|UN Specialised Agency]] or (c) become a state party to the ''Statute of the [[International Court of Justice]]''.<ref>[http://www.iso.org/iso/country_codes/background_on_iso_3166/iso_3166-1_and_cctlds.htm ISO 3166-1 and country coded Top-Level Domains (ccTLDs)], ISO – Maintenance Agency for ISO 3166 country codes</ref> Criterion (b) was met when Kosovo joined the [[International Monetary Fund]]<ref>https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2015/09/14/01/49/pr09240</ref> and [[World Bank]]<ref> https://www.worldbank.org/en/about/leadership/members</ref> in June 2009, however a terminology bulletin has yet to be circulated. Until Kosovo is officially assigned an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, [[ISO 3166-2:RS|ISO 3166-2:RS-KM]] continues to remain in force.
