Through Self-governance and Russia

The flag of Serbs of Croatia is similar to the flag of the Republic of Serbia but has no coat of arms just like the flag of Republika Srpska. The flag was handed over to representatives of Serbian minority in Croatia by the Ambassador of Serbia in Croatia on 8 July 2005 at the ceremony organised to mark the occasion of the introduction of the flag, thereby giving it additional legitimacy in the Serbian community.

While the Serb National Council as of 2021 never adopted the coat of arms of Serbs in Croatia the Joint Council of Municipalities in eastern Slaonia introduced it as well in 1997. In 2013 Milorad Pupovac stated that the new statewide joint Coat of Arms of Serbs in Croatia will probably contain symbols of the Military Frontier.

Flag protocol

The flag protocol is prescribed by the Serb National Council's Decision on the Flag of the Serbian National Minority in Croatia. The flag of Serbs of Croatia should be used in accordance with the decision and in a way that emphasize dignity and honor of the Serbian people. The flag is prohibited to stand in dilapidated, untidy, torn or in any other way damaged state.
