The national
flag of Montenegro is primarily red, with a gold border. Also featured in the
flag is a two-headed eagle, the coat of arms, a crown and a sceptre and a blue
orb in each claw of the eagle. Additionally, there are numerous crosses on the
flag, representing the nation’s connection to the religion of Christianity. The
red portrays the blood lost in their quest for independence and the gold
represents the royal heritage of the country. The double-headed eagle is also
representative of the nation’s connection to the church of Christianity. The
shield in front of the eagle is the national coat of arms, which also features
the lion of Judah, symbolises the strength of Montenegro and its people. The
crown that sits atop the eagle's two heads, also represents the regal past of
the nation. Finally, the objects that the eagle is holding depict strength and
royalty. This edition of the flag was adopted on the 3rd of June
2004.
