Award

"Hero of Kosovo" is a state State decoration given to historical figures of Kosovo starting from the League of Prizren and beyond, as well as citizens of Kosovo who have contributed to freedom and independence. The medal includes the portrait of Skanderbeg. It is crafted in gold.^[2]
It is awarded by the President of Kosovo, though the nomination might come also from: Chairman of the Assembly, Prime Minister, President of the Supreme Court and the Electoral College, Chief Prosecutor of Kosovo, Minister, Chief of General Staff, General Director of Police, President of the Municipal Assembly, President of the Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Notes:

^ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has received recognition as an independent state from 110 out of 193 United Nations member states.
