- The Miss Kosovo pageant is not related to Miss Universe Kosovo or formally Miss Universe Kosova. After Kosovo gained independence from Serbia in 2008, Fadil Berisha (renowned Albanian-American photographer) started the Miss Universe Kosova pageant to select the country's delegate to Miss Universe. On the other hand, the Miss Kosovo pageant selects its representative to Miss Earth.
