Everything about Flag Of Slovakia totally explained
Flag ratio: 2:3]]
The current form of the
flag of Slovakia was adopted by Slovakia's Constitution, which came into force on
September 3,
1992. The flag, in common with other
Slavic nations, uses the red, white and blue colours.
Slovakia's flag in its current form (but with another seal on it or without any seal) can be dated back to the revolutionary year
1848 (see:
The Revolutions of 1848 in the Habsburg areas). It was also used semi-officially in
Czechoslovakia before
World War II, by the
Slovak Republic during WWII, and finally adopted (without the seal) on
March 1,
1990 as the flag of the Slovak Republic within Czechoslovakia. The seal was added on
September 3,
1992 and a special law describing the details of the flag followed in February
1993.
The blue triangle in the current flag of the
Czech Republic, with which Slovakia formed Czechoslovakia up to the
Dissolution of Czechoslovakia, was taken over from the blue strip of Slovakia's flag in
1920 into the flag of Czechoslovakia. The flag of Czechoslovakia was taken over by the Czech Republic in late 1992 in direct violation of the 1992 Act on the Division of Czechoslovakia explicitly forbidding state symbols to be used by the two successor states.
Since the Slovak flag without the seal is identical to that of the modern
Flag of Russia and it can also be compared to the modern
Flag of Slovenia, the
Constitution of Slovakia added the seal in September 1992. The seal is Slovakia's coat of arms. For a description of the seal (a double cross and three hills), see
Coat of Arms of Slovakia.
