OTHER THINGS – It happened again! On Sund=
ay,
February 17, 2008, Kosovo declared independence from Serbia. Many ot=
her
countries are supporting their independence, but Serbia and Russia are not.
Kosovo has a new flag and national crest – bright blue banner featuri=
ng
golden map of Kosovo and six stars, one for each of its main ethnic groups.
Kosovo area is mostly ethnic Albanians and secular Muslims while Serbia is
Christian Orthodox. It is unknown when they will produce their first postage
stamps. This new country will bear watching! Any guesses on the next new
independent country?
