<div id="ygrps-yiv-1449757127">As soon as any new country name passes muster at the UN, the ISO asks the <br/>
government of the country what code it wants.  After the country responds, the <br/>
members of the ISO&#39;s code maintenance authority vote on the requested code.  As <br/>
soon as approval is had, the ISO updates the official table at <br/>

If Kosovo already uses KS for its internal purposes, it is reasonable to suppose <br/>
that it will request that code when the time comes.  However, an ISO FAQ says:<br/>

[Q:] What are the ISO 3166-1 country codes for Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo?<br/>
<br/>
A: Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo are integral parts of Serbia and Montenegro. <br/>
They have no separate ISO 3166-1 code elements. The code elements for Serbia and <br/>
Montenegro (CS, SCG, 891) must be used.<br/>

&gt; btw does anyone know if ko is indeed correct iso for<br/>
&gt; kosovo<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; i suppose it could almost as likely be ks or kv<br/>
&gt; but confirmation is elusive<br/>
&gt;<br/>
<br/>
It&#39;s probably not official as ISO-letters, but in Kosovo all licence plates for <br/>
vehicles contains &#39;KS&#39;. Car-stickers with this abbrevation is also popular.<br/>
