We suggest changing the email subject above according to your preference.

Dear Madam / Sir, I am a citizen of Kosovo and regular user of vube.com. I am extremely disappointed to find that I am unable to select Kosovo on the drop-down menu of user profiles on the official website of Vube. As you might be aware, Kosovo has declared independence and so far has been recognized as a country by 100+ UN member states, including United States, UK and the vast majority of EU countries. In attempt to clarify further the Kosovo’s declaration of independence, in response to Serbia’s question on legality of this act, the International Court of Justice on 22 of July 2010 concluded on its decision “that the adoption of the declaration of independence of 17 February 2008 did not violate general international law, Security Council resolution 1244 (1999) or the Constitutional Framework. Consequently the adoption of that declaration did not violate any applicable rule of international law.” (see para. 122 of the Court’s decision: http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/141/15987.pdf). This unambiguous wording of the World Court, a principle organ of the United Nations, should be seen as a primary reference when considering any issue with regard to Kosovo’s statehood and its place in international relations. Kosovo has one of the youngest population in whole Europe. We are keen internet users. Please do not deny us our rightful place as part of the global online generation, we simply want to be able to choose the option which best defines where we are from while using Vube service of video sharing and be part of Vube's monthly video contests. Your supportive response would be of invaluable help to overcome a technological barrier that affects online users from Kosovo attempting to utilize Vube experience. On behalf of myself and Digital Kosovo initiative, I would like to thank you in advance for taking this issue into consideration. Yours Sincerely,

+ = (Are you human, or spambot ? Enter sum of numbers.)

I want my name to be published in the list of contributors!

Message from Vube:
“Thank you for emailing us to bring this matter to our attention. We have received multiple requests for this, and are eager to support Kosovo.

However, our software development team, and many of our tools, use the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) codes outlined on the following page: http://www.iso.org/iso/country_names_and_code_elements.

After reviewing our dependencies, at this time we cannot add Kosovo to our list of countries. However, when an ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code is assigned, we will make those changes.”
