Good luck Kosovo. It’s going to be a little rough at first, being as your neighbors *coughSeriba! *coughRussia!* don’t really “approve”, “accept” or “recognize” your independence, but the US and EU have got your back on this and I wish you all good fortune and good health in the coming years. I hope to some day visit your country and put a couple of dollars in your pockets to help get you fine folks up and running again.
I don’t mean to be a bummer here Kosovo, but I think your flag may need a bit more time in the thumbnail stage. Now, I know you got about 993 entries for the contest, and I know that 992 of them were horrible, and I know the UN told you that you can’t have a flag that shows favoritism to one ethnicity over another, but you can do better than that! Look at Canada! They have tons of different people and ethnic groups! I mean, granted Canada started out, and still technically is, under the auspices of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, but they do a pretty good job.

They started out with this:
but then after a few more debates, they came up with this the current flag’s Papa:
in 1964. At least stylize it a little bit! Otherwise you look like…like…well, like CYPRUS
and they have two sides that hate each other!
You are your own country now! Be proud of it! It’s not bad for a first run, I am still prod of you. If I had more time I would send you some of my examples, but I don’t think you would like them because I have never been to the Balkans and well, let’s face it, nobody likes a flag that is designed for them by an outsider.

Hello to everyone.
Kosovo is the best and lovely state in center of Balkans.
I live, work and study in here. Everybody who came from Europe and USA including Canada they were impressed for the happy people in Kosovo.
As far as I had contacts with different people from EU, CA and USA they knew wrong history about Kosovo but after being in here they saw it totally diferrent. The people in Kosovo has a high civilisation score. They are categorized with first place of 24 years old and younger number in Europe and #1 with natality.
Thanks for reading the heartbeat of Kosovo
N E W B O R N – is the moto of Kosovo
