Montenegro’s national flag is red with a gold border and the country’s coat of arms in the centre. The present design was established in 2004, before Montenegro restored full independence in 2006.

What does the Montenegrin flag look like?

The flag has a deep red field framed by a narrow gold border. In the centre is Montenegro’s coat of arms: a crowned golden double-headed eagle bearing a shield with a golden lion and holding a sceptre and orb.

History of the current flag

Montenegro used several different flags during its history as a principality, kingdom, Yugoslav republic and member of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. The current red-and-gold state flag was established by the 2004 law on state symbols and Statehood Day. The government also adopted an official model defining its appearance in September 2004.
