The result was moved to Flag of Serbia and Montenegro. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 03:19, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro → Flag of Serbia and Montenegro — The nation's short name should be used, like in "Flag of Germany" (and not "Flag of the Federal Republic of Germany") Vanjagenije (talk) 00:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: For 5 June (date of dissolution)

5x expanded by The C of E (talk). Self-nominated at 09:22, 17 May 2021 (UTC).[reply]

Approve for June 5th The article was first expanded on the same day of nomination, so is new enough. The expansion was from ~575 characters to ~3600 characters, so is long enough. The article reads neutrally, has proper inline citations, and the only issues the copyvio detector brings up is the use of proper names. The hook is short enough, interesting enough, and is cited inline in the article. The QPQ has been done and the image offered is in the public domain and would be viewable at any size. Looks good to go! Silver seren^C 19:42, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Does not compute?

The article says: "the remaining republics of Serbia and Montenegro reconstituted the country as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and initially retained the original SFR Yugoslavia flag." However, if both the FRY was founded on 27 April and the flag was adopted the same day then there's no way the old SFRY flag could've been used? Unless I'm missing something. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 16:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Illegitimate Barrister: It means they retained the old flag with the communist star initially before adopting the one without it. The C of E God Save the King! (talk) 16:58, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How can that be, if the new flag was adopted the same day the country was founded (i.e. 27 April 1992)? Unless it was used for only a few minutes or hours? – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 17:01, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Illegitimate Barrister: Thank you for catching these mistakes. The flag and the country were both established by the 1992 Yugoslav Constitution i.e. adopted simultaneously. –Vipz (talk) 05:40, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
