Republika Srpska

Proportion	1:2
Adopted	February 28, 1992
Design	Tricolor, made of three equal horizontal bands of red, blue and white.

The flag of Republika Srpska was adopted on February 28, 1992. The flag is a rectangular tricolor with three equal horizontal bands of red, blue and white.

While the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared the coat of arms of Republika Srpska unconstitutional, claiming that it did not represent the non-Serb ethnicities living in the entity, the flag was deemed to be in line with the constitution. The court ruled that though the combination of the colors relates to the Serbian tricolor, the use of red, blue and white are considered to be pan-Slavic colors as well.

The Serbian tricolor has been used as the basis for other flags, most notably as Serbia's official flag. Montenegro has also used the Serbian tricolor with varying shades of blue. Under communist Yugoslavia, the republics of Serbia and Montenegro had flags of same design and colors. Montenegro changed its flag in 1993 by altering the proportion and shade of blue in its flag and used this flag until 2004.

The Serbian tricolor was also the basis for the Republic of Serbian Krajina. The Serbian tricolor defaced with a Serbian cross is used as the flag of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
