Flag of Serbia and Montenegro - Definition and Overview

Flag ratio: 1:2

The flag of Serbia and Montenegro was adopted on April 27, 1992, as the flag of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

The current flag is a tricolor of red, white, and blue, and as such is very similar to a great number of flags around the world. The flags of the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France, among others, may be easily confused with the flag of Serbia and Montenegro.

New flag

New proposed flag of Serbia and Montenegro

A new flag was proposed by the Council of Ministers of Serbia and Montenegro in 2003 and is awaiting endorsement by the Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro. It will effectively be a superimposition of the two tricolors of Serbia and Montenegro, which are very similar but use two different shades of blue. The new flag will be a tricolor in which the middle blue bar is divided in two, the left-hand portion being the Serbian blue and the right-hand portion being the Montenegrin blue, called plavetna (or "blueish").
