the map reflects it, we have right now the admin level of kosovo as less than a country. I noticed recently that the serbia relation contains it.

I can imagine that osm will lose a bunch of dedicated mappers if the continue to offend people in that manner. mike 2012/4/1 RB <[email protected]> > Please : I am not making anymore "bloody politics" than people claiming > that the situation is damn simple.
