An independence referendum was held in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija between 26 and 30 September 1991. The Assembly of Kosovo had declared the Republic of Kosova a sovereign and independent state on 22 September 1991. Over 99% of voters voted in favour of independence, with a turnout of 87%.
