 Flag of Montenegro (2004-present) The flag of Montenegro was changed on July 12th 2004 by the Parliament of Montenegro into a red banner bearing the coat of arms adopted in 1993. While it has been illustrated with a yellow border, in fact the flag -- although usually trimmed with gold fringe -- has no border to its red field.
The coat of arms derives from those of King Nikola. The Cyrillic initials НI (i.e. NI) of King Nikola I, however, are left out.
