Design
A stylized yellow sun on a red field, with eight broadening rays extending from the centre to the edge of the field.
Designed by
Miroslav Grčev
The flag of North Macedonia depicts a stylized yellow sun on a red field, with eight broadening rays extending from the center to the edge of the field. It was created by Miroslav Grčev and was adopted on 5 October 1995.
The eight-rayed sun derives from the national emblem[1] and represents the "new sun of Liberty" referred to in "Denes nad Makedonija" ("Today over Macedonia").[2] The first post-Yugoslav flag of the country, adopted in 1992, known as the Kutlesh Flag, featured the Vergina Sun, a symbol that had been discovered at Aigai, the first capital and burial ground of the ancient kings of Macedon. Greece imposed a year-long economic embargo in order to persuade the country to remove it from its flag, resulting in the current design.
