uploaded on its place and that version was endorsed as politically neutral by overwhelming vote for. You might find this version pleasant enough, and since it already is on
Commons and used at least on the Polish Wikimedia projects, you might like it as well. And it does not use a shade of blue reminiscent of the UN flag, nor is it a shade of green usede on any state flag that references Islam (I checked against the Commons repository of state flags). nor does it use any color on any locally relevant flag.

221:
The plain blue map is in line with similar icons (e.g., that used on Cyprus-stub), where a flag may be too controversial. The plain blue flag seems, on the other hand, to deny the flag's existence and thus may also be construed as being less than

A third option, such as a thumbnail icon of
Pristina's best-known building (compare Tibet-stub), or a topographical rather than plain-coloured map, may be a better compromise solution.
