The referendum was planned since 1991. For the state flag, the choice was to either keep the flag with the red star or to remove it.[3] For the coat of arms, the choice was to keep the Serbian shield with cross and firesteels or to include the bicephalic eagle of the Nemanjić dynasty.[3] For the anthem, Bože pravde and Marš na Drinu were offered.[3] The results showed a majority of voters preferred keeping the red star on the flag, to keep the Serbian shield with firesteels, and choosing Marš na Drinu as the anthem.[5]
