Or is there a difference between the state flag and national flag? - DTH Tue, 19 Feb 2008 11:38:25 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-262 There were rules that apply to the flag design, so I guess there was possibility for having double-headed eagle on the flag. [edit] Competition for a new flag A competition for a new flag was held in June 2007 which received 993 entries. Under the terms of UN talks, all such symbols would have to reflect the multi-ethnic nature of Kosovo,[9] avoiding the use of the Albanian or Serbian double-headed eagles or the use of solely red and black or red, blue and white colour schemes. Additionally, all entries had to be rectangular and have a 2:3 proportion. A total of 700 proposals met these criteria. A group of Kosovo politicians and experts known as the "Unity Team" selected three designs which were then voted on by the Assembly of Kosovo (with a two-thirds majority required for approval), when independence was declared after the status talks.[10] uch to read. That explains that,hope it was not too much to read. - InfoForYou Tue, 19 Feb 2008 04:19:34 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-214 CONGRADULATION KOSOVO!!

GO FREEDOM GO" LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK!! LET THE PEOPLE VOTE IN AN UNCORUPTED GOVERNMENT! ANY GOVENMENT THAT DOES NOT WANT ACT AS A PUBLIC SERVANT SHOULD BE THROWN OUT AND A NEW DEMOCRATIC ONE REPLACING IT BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE OF THAT STATE. THANK GOD FOR THE FREEDOM AFFORDED US BY GOD ALMIGHTY. CONGRADULATIONS ON YOUR NEW FREEDOM AND REMEMBER RUSSIA IS YOUR ENEMY AND THE UNITED STATES IS YOUR FRIEND.

Umarim Kosova daha iyi bir tasarimi kabul eder. Istanbul'dan en iyi dileklerimizle... Personally, none of the flag designs seem to be exciting to me. I hope that Kosova will accept a better design. Best wishes from Istanbul... - Murat Sun, 17 Feb 2008 00:58:55 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-152 I am speechless. This is a state not taking itself seriously. There are matters over which Kosovo will have little or no control, but the question of flags and emblems is an opportunity beyond legal veto Even within the specified restrictions there are amazing opportunities for a unifying identity. Unless this 'competition' is scrapped, I will have a greatly diminished regard for Kosovo as a nation and its prospects as a state. - Michael Sat, 16 Feb 2008 01:20:14 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-146 is it possible to explain me what's the meaning of this SPIRAL in the flag. why the EAGLE is missing on this flags I'm waiting for the answer?????????? because I don't like any of this designs!!!!!!!!!!! - berat Fri, 15 Feb 2008 15:34:13 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-141 what does that spiral mean?? does anybody know? it looks like a snake and may be they want to represent the serbs?? - Blend Fri, 15 Feb 2008 01:31:36 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-140 these flags they dont have at all any identity of our cultur. tradits, history... just put it this way, why all kosovo heros they did sacrifice thier life, thier family... only for that albanian flag and the color of the flag it's still wet from the blood of the people fighting for their identity ... - Ermali Fri, 15 Feb 2008 00:11:37 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-136 This is scandalous! How can they choose these flags? By the way, in the commision for the flag is Bujar Dugolli, he is nephew of a man who is known for his chetnic relations, and he is in charge for crimes against albanians. THIS IS NOT KOSOVAR FLAG! - Rron Thu, 14 Feb 2008 15:02:45 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-130 i don't like any of these designs flags i dont know who will chose it but the only best flag its IBRAHIM RUGOVA FLAG - labearta Thu, 14 Feb 2008 09:17:06 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-126 we are called the childeren of the eagle, therefor I think the eagle is a symbol of the albanian people and should be a part of our new flag!!!! - valon Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:47:02 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-123 How can they even think that such flag could represent the Kosovo nation when they are all Albanians, Ok two nations can't have the same flag, but at least they should have a flag that represent their identity? You can't create a nation from scratch when it already exists. The kosovon people have had their identity since ever same as other nations in the Balkan; the only difference is they were denied such right for centuries. Shame on these politicians that they don't have a sense of Patriotism, many generations have died for that black eagle. You can’t allow five % of Serbs to determine the identity of 95%. This is disgrace, Kosovon politicians have become like sheep they always do as they are told for their personal interest. Stand up for what is your people’s right you Mother F****** politicians. - Razart Wed, 13 Feb 2008 01:13:05 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-120 Dont like those flags at all but if it has to be picked then the 1st one should be. the others look like the iraqan flag. - abnor Tue, 12 Feb 2008 19:09:27 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-117 What kind of person have done this flags? Are they crazy or what? What symbolizes kosova? Nothing at all !! This is my own opinion but I dont think that this is only my opinion... We are not from IRAK and we dont want to be called the IRAK people or something like that ( not because I disliked the people from IRAK) ? Iam suprised that this flags even got chosen.. - Pranvera Tue, 12 Feb 2008 14:15:55 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-116 But even if you hate all the flags think of it this way: The flag can always be changed later )) Recognition is much more important now anyway ) - Samian Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:46:34 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-115 lol, for a second, I thought the second one was France's flag )) - Samian Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:45:07 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-114 My name is Besnik Nuli and that proposal up there is not mine i dont know where you got that but that one is not mine. Mine has 5 stars on the uper right side of the map. Please remove that flag or find the proper flag or do not use my name on it cuz that one is not mine. And i also had like 6 proposals one of them looks like this but it has 12 stars around the map and they are all the same - Besnik Nuli Mon, 11 Feb 2008 23:21:26 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-112 OMG these are the flags. Hell no. these flag means nothing to me nore will the Albanian kosovar. I will not be representing any of these flags at all. We should have the eagle on the flag the one that Rugova used with the Dardania. We should choose the flag cuz it was the albanians kosovar that fought for kosova and died for it. Im so mad. - Luli Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:53:49 +0100 http://www.newkosovareport.com/20080209526/Society/Kosovo-to-pick-a-state-flag.html#comment-111 These don't look so good, but the first flag looks better than the others And also we can be proud of that because United States of America's flag has some stars on it, why we not ?? - DURIMI FERIZAJ Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:13:21 +0100
