"Flag of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia
1946-1992"
After the Second World
War, the Vardar part of Macedonia was given a status of a federal republic, in
the border of Yugoslavia. The flag was chosen during a meeting of the
Anti-Fascist Assembly for National Liberation of Macedonia, on December 31th,
1946.
"Flag of the Republic of Macedonia 1992-1995"
The second flag of
Macedonia. After it's independence from SFR Yugoslavia, Macedonia changed it's
flag into the flag of the ancient Macedonian dynasty. The 16 pointed sun star,
became official flag with the yellow and red fragments. Due to the Greek
propaganda (which was activated in early 1980), and after an economic blockade
of the borders, the flag was changed in September 1995. Soon, the Macedonian Senate
has approved changes to the country's flag, a move to opens the borders to
neighboring Greece to end the clipping economic blockade imposed on Macedonia in
period of 18 months. The Macedonian Senate voted 110 to 1 to approve a new flag
that is acceptable to Greece. The yellow and red colors are retained, but the 16
pointed Sun of Vergina (the symbol of the Macedonians) that Greece claimed
that is Greek symbol has been removed. The 16 pointed sun was
removed from the state flag, but it still retains it's role - flag of the
Macedonian Nation.
"Flag of the Republic of Macedonia since
1995"
The new state flag has stylized eight - ray sun
spreads over the length of the flag. As a result Greece stop the blockade on
it's borders with Macedonia. Now Macedonians are furious and Greeks satisfied.
