The flag of Montenegro is composed of a red leaf framed by a gold trimming which has a width of 1/20 height of the flag. The aspect ratio of 1: 3 forms unusually elongated shape of the flag. In the center of the flag, a national emblem is placed. It depicts a golden double-headed eagle holding a golden scepter in the right claw and a blue-green orb with a golden cross in the left claw. The eagle bears a blue shield with a gold lion on a green lawn on his chest and a crown is erected above his head. The flag resembles an emblem of a family Petrovic and it was officially adopted in 2006, when the Montenegrin population decided in referendum to split up from Serbia and to create an independent state.
Montenegro remains one of Europe’s hidden gems… but for how much longer? Independent since 2006, the country has been quietly developing its fledgling tourism industry and is now being vaunted as one of the continent’s hottest new destinations.
So what does this nascent nation have to offer? Well, inland it’s all pine-scented mountains, rolling prairies and traditional, stone villages, which are a joy for hikers, bikers and nature lovers. The star attraction, though, is the blissful, 293km (183mile) coastline, which gives onto the calm blue waters of the Adriatic Sea.
