Montenegro Flag And Its History

By Ned Stevens


The first inhabitants on the Balkan peninsula were the ancient people known as the Illyrians. The Slavic people followed in the 6th and 7th centuries. What is now Montenegro was the Serbian principality of Zeta in the 14th century.

Socialist Montenegro as a part of Yugoslavia again received as an official symbol of the tricolor, which caught fire on the red five-pointed star. At independence, Montenegro has chosen as a flag in 1993 tricolor with red, blue and white horizontal stripes. Then the policy of separation of Montenegro from Yugoslavia led to the fact that the leader of the country Djukanovic decided to change and official paraphernalia. Old flag served as a reminder of the union with Serbia, and therefore approved a new in 2004.

After World War I, independent Montenegro along with several other Balkan countries became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia) and had no flag of its own. Yugoslavia was dissolved by the Axis powers during World War II; Montenegro, nominally independent, was occupied by Italy and again flew the red-blue-white tricolor from July 1941 to November 1943.

One of the state symbols of the country, the flag of Montenegro, together with the anthem and the coat of arms was approved after the formation of a sovereign state. His field is made red, the entire perimeter is a gold rim. In the center of Montenegro's flag, a country coat is applied.

On July 13, 2004, Montenegro adopted a distinctive flag. Based on an old royal banner, the new flag of Montenegro was red bordered with yellow. At its center was a yellow double-headed eagle displaying a shield with a lionâ€"the dynastic arms of the NjegoÅ¡ dynasty that once ruled Montenegro.

In 2006 a mainstream submission in Montenegro supported its severance from the alliance, and freedom was broadcasted on June 3; the banner of 2004 turned into Montenegro's national banner on that day. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Montenegro Flag for the future.
