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

The referendum was planned since 1991. For the state flag, the choice was to either keep the flag with the red star or to remove it.[2] For the coat of arms, the choice was to keep the Serbian shield with cross and firesteels or to include the bicephalic eagle of the Nemanjić dynasty.[2] For the 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 choosing Marš na Drinu as the anthem.[4]
