-'''Kosova''' is the [[Albanian language|Albanian]] spelling for the southern  [[Serbia|Serbian]] province of [[Kosovo and Metohia]]. [[Albania|Albanians]] tend to use "Kosova" exclusively in preference to the Serbian name, which many of them reject as a symbol of Serbian dominance over the ethnic Albanian majority in the province.

+'''Kosova''' may also refer to:
-Some Albanian researchers claim that the name "Kosovo" is a Serbian form of an old Albanian placename meaning "high plain". However, this is not a widely accepted theory. It is generally believed that the name derives from the [[Slavic]] word ''kos'' (or "[[blackbird]]"). "Kosovo" is a widely used placename in Slav countries, used for a number of localities in [[Belarus]], [[Bosnia]], [[Bulgaria]], [[Croatia]] and [[Russia]]. The Albanian form "Kosova" would thus be an Albanian version of a Slavic placename.
