[RTTY] FW: Kosova (Kosovo) Added as Multiplier for CQWW DXContests/CQ DX Marathon

[Alec Otulak]

Joe,

I strongly suggest refraining from using the word occupation in this respect
taking into consideration Polish history of WW2 and dramatically different
connotations the word invokes within our continent.

Yours,
Alec

It depends on one's politics.  However since the US, Germany and 
other nations have recognized the independence declaration in the 
former Yugoslav province of Kosovo, the proper name version is 
Kosova.  Use of the official name also serves to differentiate 
between the status of occupation by Serbia and independence.
