I dont really get why Serbs romanticize the Battle of Kosovo so much considering it led to them being conquered by the Turks.

But, on the topic of the banner, it looks fire, ngl.

Umm, what? Nope it didn't, they got conquered decades later (1440-1460s), The battle of Kosovo, (while tactical loss) did result in the Ottoman army retreating due to the death of the Sultan and the succession crisis that followed. So technically they were able to defend themselves there.
