The flag of the Republic of Kosovo consists of six white stars above a golden map of Kosovo in the blue field. The six stars symbolize Kosovo's six dominant ethnic groups: Albanians, Serbs, Bosniaks, Turks, Romani, and Gorani. The height-to-width ratio in the flag is 5:7, and the flag was adopted on February 17, 2008. The blue shield with gold borders in its emblem also includes six stars and a map of Kosovo, as in the flag.

The Kosovo flag is waving on a flagpole rising from the world globe.

Kosovo, officially known as the Republic of Kosovo, is a partially recognized state in Southeast Europe. Its capital is Pristina, and its population is about 1,920,000.
