The coat of arms of the Republic of Serbia was established by the Law on the Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Serbia on 16 June 1882. The famous two-headed eagle is a symbol taken from Byzantium. It is interpreted that one of its heads represents the direction towards heavenly kingdom, while the other is turned towards earthly kingdom.

It is believed among the people that red colour on the Serbian flag represents the blood shed for this country, the blue represents freedom, while the white represents mother's milk feeding strong Serbian children.

Flag experts believe that the colour symbolic is not related to our specific area and national experience, but view these meanings as universal. They offer an explanation according to which the blue colour is a symbol of fidelity and loyalty, and the white colour a symbol of purity and honesty.
