.xk is a temporary, unofficial country code top-level domain for Kosovo, assigned under the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 in 1999.
XK falls under the ISO 3166-1 "alpha-2 user-assigned codes", which include AA, ZZ, QM to QZ and XA to XZ. This means it is reserved for private use and will not be permanently assigned to any entity – nor used as a country code top-level domain. Thus, its use is unofficial and temporary, until Kosovo is assigned its own alpha-2 country code, with possible options including .ka, .ks, .kv, and .ko (although the latter may not be chosen due to its possible use for a reunified Korea, if North and South Korea's current domains, .kp and .kr respectively, are superseded).
