The flag of Kosovo is represented below.  The gold figure is the country and the six white stars represent the six major ethnic groups in Kosovo:  Albanians, Serbs, Bosniaks, Turks, Romani, and Gorani.


In comparison to the size of U.S. states in area, Kosovo is between Delaware and Connecticut.  The population is around 1.8 million.  Pristina (Prishtinë) is the capital of Kosovo and has a population of around 490,000.
