The flag of Kosovo has a blue background, charged with a map of Kosovo and six stars. The stars are officially meant to symbolize Kosovo's six major ethnic groups: Albanians, Serbs, Bosniaks, Turks, Romani (often grouped with the Ashkali and Egyptians){{cite web|url= http://www.osce.org/kosovo/57543|title=OSCE Kosovo Mission helps push for greater integration of minorities|last=Salihu|first=Mevlyde|date=2006-10-19|publisher=Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe|access-date=2008-08-14}} and Gorani. Unofficially, the stars are sometimes said to represent the six regions, which according to Albanian ultra-nationalist ideology, make up Greater Albania: Albania, Kosovo, western parts of North Macedonia, parts of northern Greece, parts of Montenegro and Preševo Valley in southern Serbia.{{cite news | first= Tim | last= Judah | title= Could Balkan break-up continue? | date= 2008-02-22 | publisher= British Broadcasting Corporation | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7256488.stm | work = BBC News | access-date = 2009-10-16 }} The flag bears a similarity to the emblem adopted in 2003 for use by government institutions in Kosovo, which also depicted a golden map of Kosovo on a blue field surmounted by stars. The flag of Kosovo resembles that of Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of colors and shapes used (white stars and yellow shape of the country on a blue field).{{cite book | last = Smith | first = Whitney | author-link = Whitney Smith | title = Flag Lore Of All Nations | publisher = Millbrook Press | date = 2001-05-01 | page = [https://archive.org/details/flagloreofallnat00smit/page/18 18] | url = https://archive.org/details/flagloreofallnat00smit | url-access = registration | quote = Bosnia flag triangle. | isbn = 0-7613-1753-8}} The flag is unusual among national flags in using a map as a design element; the flag of Cyprus is the only other to do so.{{cite web |url=http://www.cyprus.gov.cy/portal/portal.nsf/0/e4ddfb907c009ee4c2257023002c4fe4?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=1 |title=About Cyprus — Cyprus Flag and Emblem |access-date=2009-12-26 |year=2006 |publisher=Government of Cyprus Web Portal |archive-date=2012-05-29 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120529153152/http://www.cyprus.gov.cy/portal/portal.nsf/0/e4ddfb907c009ee4c2257023002c4fe4?OpenDocument&ExpandSection=1 |url-status=dead }}For sporting events, the Korean Unification Flag uses a map of the Korean peninsula.

Until 1991, Kosovo did not have a flag of its own. However, during different periods of history, different flags were flown in Kosovo. Before 1969, the only flags that could legally fly over Kosovo (then an autonomous province) were those of SFR Yugoslavia and SR Serbia. If a nationalist flag were flown, such as Albanian, Serbian or Croatian, a person could go to prison for doing so.{{cite book | last = Spencer | first = Metta | title = The Lessions of Yugoslavia | publisher = Emerald Group Publishing | date = 2001-02-02 | page = 289 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=1Z5aT8Z-2XYC&q=Albanian+flag+Yugoslavia&pg=PA289 | isbn = 978-0-7623-0280-2}}

In 1969, the Kosovar Albanian population was able to use a variant of the Albanian flag as its ethnic flag.{{cite book | last = Elsie | first = Robert | title = Historical Dictionary of Kosovo | year = 2004| pages = xxxvi | publisher = Scarecrow Press | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=Fnbw1wsacSAC&q=Kosovo+flag+Yugoslavia&pg=PR36 | isbn = 0-8108-5309-4}} However, the flag had to be charged with a red star, a symbol of socialism that was present on all Yugoslav flags.{{multiref|

Before the death of Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito and the breakup of SFR Yugoslavia, there were calls for the Albanian flag to be banned because Kosovo Serbs did not want to live under a foreign flag.{{cite book | last = Filipović | first = Gordana | title = Kosovo — Past and Present | year = 1989| page = 362 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=1TC5AAAAIAAJ&q=Kosovo+flag }} This sentiment culminated in the September 1985's "Petition of the 2016" (the number of Kosovo Serbs who organised it), which called for, among other items, a greater statehood status for Serbia and the removal of all Albanian symbols.{{cite book | last = Dragović-Soso | first = Jasna | title = Saviours of the Nation Serbia's Intellectual Opposition and the Revival of Nationalism | publisher = McGill-Queen's University Press | date = 2002-10-09 | pages = 137–138 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=z-RfBxpnUUQC&q=Kosovo+flag&pg=PA137 | isbn = 978-0-7735-2523-8}} The Serbian side also began to remove the red star from the Yugoslav flag, using it for protests to counterbalance the Albanian population and to promote a Greater Serbia.{{cite book | last = Rogel | first = Carole | title = The Breakup of Yugoslavia and the War in Bosnia | publisher = Greenwood Press | date = 1998-05-30 | page = [https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780313299186/page/49 49] | url = https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780313299186 | url-access = registration | quote = Albanian flag Yugoslavia. | isbn = 0-313-29918-8}}

The flag was adopted by the Republic of Kosova in 1991 as a variation of the Albanian flag and used throughout the country. In June 1999, with the passing of Resolution 1244 and the establishment of UNMIK, the Republic of Kosova ceased to exist along with the flag. The flag had little to no recognition when it was used, only being seen in referendums, general elections and TV reports.

When UNMIK was established, the flag was seen up until 2000, when it was replaced with the Albanian flag. In the Preševo Valley, the flag was used during the insurgency until 2001, when the Yugoslav Army took back the Ground Safety Zone and occupied areas by the Liberation Army of Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac (UÇPMB).{{cite news |date=14 October 2000 |title=Mine kills Serb police |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/971343.stm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810015542/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/971343.stm |archive-date=10 August 2014 |work=BBC News}}

When Kosovo was under the administration of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), the UN flag was flown in Kosovo for official purposes. The Constitutional Framework for Self Government in Kosovo, promulgated in May 2001, allowed institutions to use approved symbols if authorized by UNMIK.https://www.esiweb.org/pdf/bridges/kosovo/12/1.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}

Specific flags and emblems were authorized for used by the Kosovo Police Service, Kosovo Protection Corps and the Provisional Institutions of Self-Government. Some municipalities in Kosovo also adopted official symbols during the period of administration by UNMIK. The NATO-led international peacekeeping force in Kosovo, KFOR, also used a distinctive flag during this period.

However, many Kosovo Albanians usually used the Albanian flag. The Albanian flag was also used on public buildings, even though it was against UN regulations. Regulations stated only the UN flag and other authorized flags, like those of institutions and cities, could fly on public buildings. If the Albanian flag was flown, then the Serbian flag was to have been flown too, according to these regulations. However, this was rarely done in practice and the flag of Albania was ever-present in Kosovo during the UNMIK period.{{cite book | last = Holohan | first = Anne | title = Networks of Democracy Lessons from Kosovo for Afghanistan, Iraq, and Beyond | publisher = Stanford University Press | year = 2005| page = 16 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=cGONpfh2HuIC&q=Kosovo+flag&pg=PA16 | isbn = 0-8047-5190-0}}

Ibrahim Rugova, the first president of Kosovo, introduced the "flag of Dardania" on October 29, 2000. The flag was blue, inscribed with a red disc with a golden ring. Inside the red disc is the Albanian eagle. The eagle is holding a ribbon with the legend "Dardania" inscribed.{{cite web|url=http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/rs-kosov.html#dar |title=Kosovo – Dardania (flag of uncertain status) |access-date=2008-08-14 |date=2008-02-23 |work=Flags of the World}} This flag did not gain much popularity,{{cite news | title=Kosovo Television Debate: Kosovar flags and symbols | date=2005-12-21 | publisher=Balkan Investigative Reporting Network | url=http://www.birn.eu.com/en/1/50/135/ | work=RTK | access-date=2008-08-14 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080523191119/http://www.birn.eu.com/en/1/50/135/ | archive-date=2008-05-23 | url-status=dead }} Dardania is the name of an ancient region in the same general area as Kosovo. It was occasionally used at cultural and sports events during the UNMIK period and was also used at Rugova's funeral to cover his coffin.
