Kosovo Flag

Having declared independence from Serbia on February 17, 2008, Kosovo now has a new flag, which features a gold map of Kosovo on a blue background, with an arc of six white stars overhead. The new flag is designed to not have specific ethnic connotations, to make the Serbian minority more comfortable in the new, majority-Albanian state.
