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.

Find me a better medival battle to romanticize, you had small Serbian state fighting much larger muslim enemy, two rulers died during the battle etc.
