About the flag
One of very few national flags to show a map of the country. The island is copper-coloured because Cyprus has been linked with copper since ancient times, and the olive branches stand for peace.
How to spot it: White background with a copper-orange silhouette of the island above two green olive branches; Kosovo’s map is gold on blue.
Often confused with: 🇽🇰 Kosovo
