in honor of the Statehood Day (15th February). The first of the photos currently
available online was taken in Belgrade on 2025-02-11, at the beginning of the

Austria-Hungary. The deer and the lion with sabre are derived from the arms of

The municipal flag of Zemun is in proportion 1:2, horizontally divided blue-green. The flag was adopted in December 2003 and is based on the colours of the municipal coat of arms. The ratio and the simplicity of the flag is unusual for the modern Serbian local flags. However, there is no regulation that would require municipalities in Serbia to follow the square flag model.
