      Answer: blackbird! Bonus info: Kosovo has one of only two national flags that uses a map as a design element. The flag of Cyprus is the other. Want more info on Kosovo?

          I'm sorry, Kosovo and Metohija is not an independent state, but it is part of the State of Serbia more precisely its southern part. The name of Kosovo comes from the bird, but you also forgot Metohija, which comes from the Greek word that denotes the land owned by the monastery.

          You shouldn’t feel sorry...we on the other hand should feel sorry for you! You are either stupid or ignorant (or both)! Kosovo IS independent and sovereign state recognised by over 120 countries !pic.twitter.com/bRnfyz8lZp

          Albanians also refer to Kosovo as Dardania, the name of a Roman province formed in 165 BC, which covered the territory of modern Kosovo. The name is derived from ancient tribe of Dardani, ultimately from proto-Albanian word dardha/dardā which means "pear"! Do your homework!

          Blackbird reference was to the original, national flag: black, two headed eagle on a red background.

          Kosovo invaded Serbia, destroyed its monasteries and churches, and when Serbs tried defending themselves, innocent people were bombed by NATO. And Serbs are the bad guys. 😡🤬
