Flags of the World - Serbia

March 16, 2021

The flag of Serbia consists of three horizontal stripes of red, blue, and white. It displays the Serbian lesser coat of arms offset towards the hoist from the center of the flag. The coat of arms consists of a red shield that is placed below a crown. The shield displays a white eagle with two heads that bears a shield emblazoned with the Serbian cross. The coat of arms is a traditional symbol of Serbia and its medieval history. The eagle is a symbol that dates back to the Byzantine Empire and emphasizes the nation's ties to Europe's past. The flag uses the Pan-Slavic colors, which gives the Serbia flag meaning as a sign of solidarity with many of the other nations in Eastern Europe. 

Thanks a lot Milica!
