Serbia’s tricolour and state arms
Serbia’s flag has horizontal red, blue and white bands. The state flag adds the coat of arms near the hoist: a crowned double-headed eagle carrying a red shield with a white cross and four firesteels.
The arms make the state version distinct from the plain civil tricolour. The eagle and crown draw on Serbia’s state and heraldic tradition; the government’s description is the clearest source for the exact arrangement of the emblem.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
