Potential assignment of an official ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code
Kosovo is not a member of the governing structures for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).According to rules of procedure followed by the ISO 3166 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".[4] To appear in the terminology bulletin, Kosovo must either (a) be admitted into the United Nations, (b) join a UN Specialised Agency or (c) become a state party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice.[5] Criterion (b) was met when Kosovo joined the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in 2008. However a terminology bulletin has yet to be circulated and ISO 3166-2:RS-KM remains in use.
