Coats Of Arms Of The Yugoslav Socialist Republics




Coats Of Arms of the Yugoslav Socialist Republic s were defined by each of its six constituent republics. Coat of arms appeared as a symbol of Statehood on the documents of republican level, for example on the signs of the republican institutions, on Watermark s of school Diploma s, etc.

The individual coats of arms of the six Yugoslav socialist republics were as follows:

The coats of arms included old historical coats of arms where they could to demonstrate historical compatibility with the new socialist political system - see Croatian and Serbian traditional emblem in the middle of their coats of arms; also Slovenian Mount Triglav was recognized as a symbol of Slovenian Liberation Front during the National Liberation War during World War II . Where the old symbols were deemed inappropriate (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro) or unavailable (Macedonia), prominent features or unofficial national symbols were added, eg. mount Lovćen for Montenegro, Chimney s for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In a similar fashion to the Federal Yugoslav Emblem all republical coats of arms featured a Red Star and wheat or other important plants of the region.

Nowadays only Macedonia still uses the socialist coat of arms.
