Serbian army does not have a flag but only a symbol. Flags are used on brigade level. Serbian army is still developing its new flags. Plan is to create a flag for each branch, brigade, and unit. The designer of the new flags, symbols, insignias, ranks, and medals is Major Jovan Milak of the Serbian Army.
