Add Kosovo to the list of countries

Kosovo is fully accepted in FIDE but you still haven't added it to the list of countries on lichess. Other sites have done this.
Interesting:

"Kosovo was formerly a part of Serbia and won independence after a 1999 NATO bombing campaign that ended a bloody Serb crackdown on an armed uprising by members of Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian majority. Serbia refuses to accept Kosovo’s 2008 declaration of independence.

Since the start of the Pristina-Belgrade talks in 2011, 33 deals have been signed to ensure the country’s recognition each other in areas such as education and professional degrees.

Kosovo claims Serbia has not fulfilled its side of the agreements. Kosovo recognizes diplomas from Serbian universities, but Serbia does not accept the degrees of Kosovar university graduates. It’s the same with drivers’ licenses.

Kurti said the government would monitor whether Serbia moves toward reciprocity until June 15 and if not, the tariffs will be restored."

Also Catalonia has it's own chess federation, you could add that too 🙂
Catalonia is different (if it isn't, show me evidence).
@Sybotes maybe you are still living in the 90s ?
just try to google , i know its hard to accept but the truth hurts sometimes.
Kosova is recognized by more than 110 states and also is accepted by all the sport federations.
All of other chess sites have the option of choosing Kosova as a country except lichess.
So this is a request that you should add Kosova at the dropdown country list.
Looking forward to hearing from you , Lichess Staff!
Why everyone should include politics in Sports , I think that every member of Lichess is here to have fun and to make new friends , I don't think that they came here to talk about politics because here it's not the place where the politics should take place. KOSOVA is an Independent Country and should be added to the dropdown country list.
Greetings and hope that you will add Kosova , Lichess Staff.
