This research provides a reflection of Kosovo’s statehood after declaring independence on 17th February 2008, and the challenges which it faces while building a cultural and ethnic identity. This study explores how Kosovo is still in the depths of state, ethnicities and multiethnicities. Culture is regarded as a determinant of forming an identity. This work argues that the Kosovar identity is in the process of being built but is still bounded by multiethnicity and cultural nationalism. Using historical examples and current views on Kosovar identity, standing between Ethnicity and State, this research makes the connection between culture and identity.
