THEY FIXED MY SASH ! (MISS KOSOVO)

Miss Kosovo finally had her sash corrected (to proper English translation) after wearing a 'Kosova' sash for the past two weeks. Jennifer Barrientos of the Philippines had a similar venture, when she was given a sash with the word "Phillippines" on it. The mix-up created headlines in Filipino newspapers, where they devoted entire news reports about the error which was corrected eventually.
It's not the first time there are mix-ups with the sashes -in 2006, Sri Lanka's sash was spelled just 'Srilanka'. In 1999, Miss Belgium's sash had a couple of letters backwards- it spelled 'BELIGUM".

KOSOVA or Kosovo ?!?

KOSOVO IS OUT OF MISS UNIVERSE

Miss Kosovo Zana Krasniqi cannot attend Miss Universe to be held in Vietnam because Vietnam does not recognize Kosovo, thus she was denied visa for Vietnam.
