Flag of the Socialist Party of Serbia

The party flag is the national flag of Serbia with the logotype of the party (SPS monogram) on the blue stripe and the party name on the white stripe. The flag flies over the party headquarters in Belgrade.

Uros Vasiljević & Ivan Sarajčić, 1 January 1999

The light gray part of the logotype should actually be white, with a black fimbriation, but is usually shown as here, probably to make it more visible against a white background when the logotype is used as a free-standing emblem. The colours of the logotype are consequently those of the Serbian national flag.

Tomislav Todorović, 10 June 2006

The Statutes of the party, adopted during its Second Congress held on October 23 and 24, 1992 in Belgrade, say:

Article 4.
The symbol of the Socialist Party of Serbia shall be a red rose.
The flag of the Socialist Party of Serbia shall be the Serbian tricoloured flag with the Party emblem.
The emblem of the Party shall have the letters "SPS" inscribed below the Party symbol.

Former flag of the party

The flag which the Socialist Party of Serbia used in real life from 1990 to 1992 has differed from its description in the party statutes (see below), as it was not charged with the party symbol (red five-pointed star with the border in colours of Serbian flag), but with the party emblem, which differed from the symbol by addition of party name initials SPS, in white Cyrillic letters (СПС), in centre of the red star. (Actually, the symbol has never appeared either on the flags or as the stand-alone sign.) The fimbriation, which separated outermost red border of the emblem from the same-coloured background, was not specified by the statutes, but was always gold.
The flag was officially abolished in 1992, but its existing copies were kept in use until as late as 1997, when they were seen on the TV for the last time.
