Ethnic communities

Although the Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo had no official flag, from 1969 the Kosovar Albanian population was able to use a variant of the Albanian flag as its ethnic flag.[24] As of 1985 a similar right applied to all national minorities, provided the flag was charged with the Yugoslav red star.[25]
