Must to inform You that "Kosova" and "Kosovo" never received
independence, and territory is still one Autonomy of Serbia.
All this stamp, overprint, etc You can find on eBay selling by vera
Trinder (if I'm correct), under "mark" like privat issue.

Wikipedia page that is referring it like "short lived" state, is
probably made by some "fun" author.

All issue, with name "Kosova", "Kosovo" are/is just privat issue, with
clear intention to made some kind of profit from collectors.

The complex question of the international recognition of Kosovo is covered
by the Wikipedia page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...tion_of_Kosovo

Because Kosovo stamp issues aren't listed as illegal stamps by the UPU IB
Circulars (as Serbia hasn't denounced them?), they haven't an official
illegal status.

FWIW, Michel online lists Kosovo stamp issues (a total of 83 sets) between
March 15, 2000 and Dec. 26, 2011.
