Partially recognised state bordering Montenegro (6)

I believe the answer is:

kosovo

(Other definitions for kosovo that I've seen before include "Serbian province, formerly" , "Balkan region declared independent in 2008" , "Balkan state declared independent in 2008" , "Part of former Yugoslavia" , "Former province of Serbia that declared independence in 2008, capital Pristina" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
