The flag, produced from an international competition, is based on a design by Muhamer Ibrahimi, with a silhouette of Kosovo topped by six stars arranged in an arc. The Kosovan ethnic groups being referenced are Bosniak, Gorani, Roma, Turk, Ashkali and Egyptian. In 2009, the CIA World Factbook listed the ethnicity of Kosovo as 88% Albanian, 7% Serbian, and 5% Others. Many members of the Serbian minority live in enclaves in North Kosovo, a region that functions for a large part independently of the rest of Kosovo.
Before the declaration of independence in 2008, Kosovo was under the administration of the United Nations, and used the UN flag for official purposes. Serb residents also used a tricolor similar to the current flag of Serbia, while the Albanian population used the flag of Albania.
