Flag of Serbia

Serbia's flag features a horizontal tricolor of red, blue, and white stripes, arranged from top to bottom. Centered slightly towards the hoist is the coat of arms of Serbia. The coat of arms depicts a double-headed white eagle on a red shield, surmounted by a crown and two golden fleurs-de-lis.

The red, blue, and white colors are Pan-Slavic colors, representing Slavic unity and independence. The double-headed eagle is a traditional Serbian symbol, derived from Byzantine heraldry, representing state sovereignty. The fleurs-de-lis are associated with the Serbian royal family, symbolizing royal authority and heritage, connecting Serbia to its medieval Kingdom.

The current flag of Serbia was officially adopted on November 11, 2010, though similar designs have been used throughout Serbian history. A nearly identical flag was used by the Principality of Serbia in 1835. After World War II, the Serbian flag, as part of Yugoslavia, included a red star in the center, which was removed in 1992. The coat of arms was added later to distinguish it from other similar flags.
