A referendum on state symbols was held in the Republic of Serbia on 31 May 1992. The referendum decided the flag, the national anthem and the coat of arms.[1] Although the referendum failed due to low turnout, the National Assembly recommended that the red star be removed from the Serbian flag on 21 June.[2][3]
Background
For the republic's flag, the choice was to keep the Serbian flag with a red star as in socialist times or to remove it.[2] For the coat of arms, the choice was to keep the Serbian shield with firesteels and cross or to include the bicephalic eagle of the House of Nemanjić.[2] For the republic's anthem, Bože pravde and Marš na Drinu were offered.[2] The results showed a majority of voters preferred keeping the red star on the flag, to keep the Serbian shield with firesteels, and to choose Marš na Drinu as the anthem.[4]
