Croatia

The national flag of Croatia consists of three horizontal stripes in red, white and blue with the Croatian coat of arms centered. The red, white and blue colors represent the historic Pan-Slavic colors, while the checkerboard shield symbolizes Croatian identity. The five smaller shields above the main coat of arms represent the historical regions of Croatia.

Croatia officially adopted its current national flag on December 21, 1990, shortly before declaring independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. The design combines the traditional tricolor with the historic Croatian coat of arms, reflecting the country's sovereignty, heritage and national unity.
