Today, the flag still holds meaning to those nostalgic of Yugoslavia.
The flag of Yugoslavia is a horizontal tricolour of blue (top), white (middle) and red (bottom). The design and colours are based on the Pan-Slavic flag adopted at the Pan-Slavic Congress of 1848, in Prague. Following the end of the First World War in 1918, the Southern Slavs united into a single unitary state of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later known as Yugoslavia. The monarchy selected the pan-Slavic design to symbolise the new founded unity of all Southern Slavs. The design consisted of a simple horizontal tricolour with three equal bands of blue (top), white (middle) and red (bottom). Following the end of the Second World War and the abolition of the monarchy in 1945, the new Communist government retained the design of the flag but added a red star with yellow border in the centre. The flag remained in use until the dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1992.

After World War II, when the structure of the Yugoslav society changed after the introduction of the new state organisation, abolishment of the monarchy and declaration of the republic of Yugoslavia, the state symbols were also changed.
Under the FPRY Constitution of February 1, 1946, the state flag kept the colours of the flag of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia with the same order of colours – blue, white and red. The new revolutionary authorities, who ensured the alteration of the social system during the war, added to the centre of the flag a red five-pointed star, the symbol under which they fought against fascism in World War II. The ratio between the width and length of the flag was 1-2. The flag had three equal horizontal fields. The five-pointed star had a golden or yellow fimbriation.
The flag did not change until the secession of some Yugoslav republics in the 1990s. The flag kept the same colours, but the five-pointed star was removed from it.
