Blamage with a large tricolor on the rally « Don’t give Serbia » – Personal views
The first boast of Serbia, its President Aleksandar Vučić, is 11. April 2025. years, praised that, as he said, he had the honor with people from all over Serbia, he carries the largest flag of Serbia in its history. He also said that the flag was 200, and 10 m wide. But alas … that large tricolor EM is not the longest flag of Serbia in its history, EM was not the flag of Serbia, but Russia. Yes, just like that of Russia.
Let’s clarify that. The flag of Serbia and the flag of Russia are identical to tricolors, which depends on how the flag is placed (expires) and carries, which is regulated by appropriate legal provisions. Suddenly said: The field that is in the flag of Serbia is white, and the field that is white, in the flag of Russia, is red – medium field is blue in both flags blue.
When it comes to the way of installing the flag, two are the basic and most common: horizontal, with the fields in the horizontal position and vertical, with the fields in a vertical position. In the horizontal installation method, the upper field is red in Serbian or white near the Russian flag. In vertical mode of installation, the left field, fronted, is red in Serbian or white near the Russian flag. When it comes to wearing a flag, field schedule is identical as a vertical way to set up the flag: front of the front field is red in Serbian or white near the Russian flag.
And how is the SNS’s set (as the SNS’s set was navel and before it started) looked out, and then carrying the Grand Trobacle Street Knez Miloša? Very pompous: They were drummer forwards, and at the head of the column of citizens who carried the flag was Minister Siniša Mali, Vučić’s forested. When carrying, citizens were removed, because many wanted that at least briefly in their hands the flag, that biggest symbol of statehood. The flag was worn so, fronted, the white field was on the left. So it was Russian, not a Serbian flag. This kind of gaf cannot diminish the fact that it is the flag of Bratska Russia, as they have no number of russophiles in Serbia from Miles Tepa Putin’s empire. Because, even to them, Russophils, not a « shirt closer than the sub-shirt » (Russia from Serbia). When the flag appeared in front of the Pioneering Park (now by Caciland), Her wear, I was joined by Aleksandar Vučić, who did not hide a smile from his face, not to listen to his flag in his hands.
However, only Belgraders were eyewitnesses of a kind of « transformation » of large state tricolors in Russian. It is also afforded to the inhabitants with the other side of the Drina River. Banjolučani It, as at some rule, can see every year when carrying a large flag of Republika Srpska (in fact Serbian tricolor) in the celebration of 9. January, Republika Srpska Day, which can be easily checked on the Internet. It was and this year, when the Defile was organized in nights. In the East Sarajevo, the first mentioned entity celebration carries a 527-meter tricolor, but also as Russian. Two years ago, wearing the flag in this city, Vucic’s protégé and the entity President Milorad Dodik and Serbian Minister Ivica Dačić and several more high-generated entity politicians. And Dodik with a smile on the face. Neither he listens that the flag worn in a way that with his flag is bastard in his country. Neither Serbs in Montenegro, when wearing a Serbian tricolor (and not so rare), is not inherence that the flag is properly carried. It is most common and they turn upside down, making it so Russian.
It is completely unexplained that GAF with a tricolor in Belgrade, as well as numerous Gafes in Banja Luka, East Sarajevo and Montenegro. Because, as Vučić said in Belgrade, a tricolor is not just a symbol but also the heart of Serbia. And with such a flag, then, it should be treated with due care. How that the organizer of the mentioned gathering in Belgrade did not peek into Serbian legal provisions relating to the installation and wearing of the tricolor. And in those provisions, when they already have their own, those who organized the solemn parse in Banja Luka, ie those who organized carrying a long flag in East Sarajevo.
Because, that they did, « They would only tell them all, » Kemal Monteno said in one of his own song. Namely, there could be seen that it is even prescribed that the flagged on the leafing of the flag should be on the left of the red field must be on the left front of the front viewed. And they could also « walk » the internet, even that apparently (photography) see how Russians carry their tricolor – the white field is on the left front of the front viewed. They could, in the final case – neglecting their own intelligence – to help and see the artificial intelligence. Then, provided that the question is well formulated, only in seconds, received an answer. I asked, « How does the street wear Serbian and how russian flag-tricolor, or what color is the bar on the left front viewed? ». Artificial intelligence replied: « When a Serbian flag is carried, the red strip is on the left, and when the Russian flag is worn, the white tape is on the left. »
But anyway, it was falling out in the « Serbian world » (term designed by Aleksandar Vulin, the Eternal Vučić’s minister) the red-blue-white flag as it is froth, so if it is ovared, good and it is. And if not, nothing … No responsibility. One question is imposed in itself: Are similar gafes with flags as state symbols in other countries whose flags differ only in the way of installation and carrying? I don’t believe it. It is simply difficult to imagine that in an important gathering, for example, it could happen that the state flag was carried wrong, because in that case it would be identical to the state flag of the Ivory Coast. Or, another example – that the Polish state flag is wearing upside down, in which case it would be identical to the state flag of Monaco. Similar examples there are still.
I don’t know, maybe SNS could forgive the flag blumage. They had a lot of work around the organization set in Belgrade. Silne buses should have been provided for the transport of « ordered » participants together and even buses and for those who have « hiked ». Many needed a pocket money, then procure and mount those white tents, organize the arrival of the tractor) … not to talk about the food tons (specialty was burger), hectolitan and hectolitan drinks) and not all. However, the great folk flag of Serbia deserved more attention to those who decided to carry the street of Kneza Miloš.
