State ensign

by Ivan Sarajcic

War ensign

by Zeljko Heimer

The law (article 1) says nothing on the vertical positioning of the arms, so I made it in the most natural way - in the middle. Another possible solution would be that the upper edge of the shield comes to the edge of blue and white fields, but this makes poor image in the lower part, considering the given height. Also, the design of the arms is not mentioned. I guess it was defined in some other law.

Merchant ensign

According to law (article 2), the merchant ensign was similar to the national flag. This ensign is similar to the current Yugoslav merchant ensign, too.

Masthead Pennant

by Zeljko Heimer

According to law (article 9).

Is this the longest official flag of any kind? There is little point in keeping the proportions here - and it is still odd. I doubt that there is a good way of representing such "monsters".
