The Flag of Montenegro was adopted on July
12, 2004 by the Montenegrin legislature. The new flag is
based on the personal standard of King Nikola I of
Montenegro. This flag was all red with a gold border, a gold
coat of arms, and the initials НІ in Cyrillic script
(corresponding to NI in Latin script) representing King
Nikola I. These initials are omitted from the modern
flag. Montenegro obtained independence in May of 2006. |
