The Republic of Kosovo has as Alpha 2 Code
xk. I cannot seem to find that icon or it may be that is just under a different country code, but according to Geo Names it should bexk.Could you please verify that it's there or add it if it is not @lipis ? Great pack by the way 👍
The only suggestions I would have is if the icons could be a SVG sprite instead of individual files, that way if you have to use all the flags on the page you have less requests (1 over 250 +), but that is just me :)

here you can find all ISO Codes. Some of them, like xk, are just user assigned so they are not officially assigned. I think that's the reason why there is no xk flag.
@rolandjitsu commented on GitHub (Jun 25, 2014):
@N8boy, I see. I get the countries from here and the data is not under my control. I'd prefer if I wouldn't do any data manipulation and if the flags would match the same alpha 2 code that mostly everyone uses.
Otherwise, under what code is this country flag if it exists?
@lipis commented on GitHub (Jun 30, 2014):
@N8boy is right.. I'm sorry but I won't add any user assigned flags..
@rolandjitsu commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2014):
@N8boy, sure, so what your are saying is that you'll just ignore the existence of one country :) Because you do not have that flag as part of the pack, no matter if the code is user assigned or not.
Anyway, I have just decided to use PNG sprites instead since I do not want to make 250+ requests for each flag, even if it means that I will not have the flexibility of scaling up/down.
@lipis commented on GitHub (Jul 1, 2014):
@rolandjitsu In this particular project I'm including only the official flags.. it's very simple :)
If someone wants to include the user assigned it's super easy to fork and add them to match their individual needs..
@andcam commented on GitHub (Jan 8, 2016):
voicing my request also for XK also. it's widely used, including the European Commission.
@gentisaliu commented on GitHub (May 31, 2017):
Need the Kosovo (XK) flag as well, as the previous commenter noted, it is widely used, even in international institutions.
@RudeySH commented on GitHub (Nov 14, 2017):
There's even an emoji for the XK flag.
@Enalmada commented on GitHub (Jun 25, 2018):
Kosovo getting an official code may remain a political issue forever but there is no reason for it to remain a technical issue. I understand the initial hesitation, but at this point the XK code is universally accepted as a provisional code by enough organizations and databases that it belongs in this project.
@catamphetamine commented on GitHub (Feb 22, 2019):
I can see the flag has been added.
