Encyclopedia > Flag of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
Enlarge
Flag of the SFRY, ratio 1:2

Flag of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia consisted of three equal horizontal bands coloured in pan-Slavic colors - blue (top), white and red - with yellow bordered red star, symbol of communism, at the flag's centre.


It was created during Second World War by replacing the royal coat of arms on the flag of pre-war Kingdom of Yugoslavia with the red star of communism. After the war it was given its final shape by enlarging the star and adding a narrow yellow border.


The flag was usually accompanied on official buildings by the flag of the particular socialist republic and the flag of the League of Communists. Because of this, many buildings in former Yugoslavia still carry a three-holed flag holder.

Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (1557 words)
Democratic Federative Yugoslavia was constituted at the AVNOJ or the Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia conference in Jajce (November 29 - December 4 1943) while negotiations with the royal government in exile continued.
Each of the six Republics had their own "territorial defense", a National Guard of sorts, which were established in the frame of a new doctrine called “general people’s resistance” as an answer to the brutal end of the Prague Spring by the Warsaw Pact in Czechoslovakia.
Yugoslavia used to be described as a country with seven neighbouring countries, six republics, five languages, four nations, three religions, two alphabets and one party.
