Presidential flag of Kosovo, 2000
Ibrahim Rugova, the first president of Kosovo introduced the “flag of Dardania” as a Presidential State Flag on October 29, 2000. The flag was blue, with a golden-ringed red disk with the Albanian eagle. The eagle is holding a ribbon with the legend “Dardania”, the name of an ancient region in the same general area as Kosovo. This flag did not gain much popularity, but was occasionally used at cultural and sports events during the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) period and was also used at Rugova's funeral to cover his coffin.
