-:))) I think Kosovo is the most accurate spelling, although I heard Kosovoa too.

"Kosova" is the bastardized version of the Serbian name (Kosovo & Metohia). The word has absolutely no meaning in Albanian, whereas Kosovo (in Serbian) means "(a) field of blackbirds" (stemming from "kos", or blackbird).

Metohia has Greek roots and it roughly means "church land/estate/property." It's no wonder the MSM has never used the word. Metohia takes up roughly half of the province and is private property of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Needless to say, it's been taken away from the SOC and handed over to the Jihadi savages.
