[OSM-talk] Komuna e Malishevës, Serbia ?

[Mike Dupont]

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.

In any case, osm is right now working hard to keep the community going,

and I think that we need to make sure that the mappers are not offended
when they look at their home town.

I can imagine that osm will lose a bunch of dedicated mappers if the
continue to offend people in that manner.
