The design of the Serbia National Flag dates back to the revolt against Ottoman rule in 1804 when it adopted the white-blue-red tricolor flag of Russia but with the order of the stripes rearranged. The Ottoman sultan officially recognized the National Flag Of Serbia in 1835 and also in 1869.

The country became independent in 1878. In 1882 Serbia created a state flag consisting of the red-blue-white tricolor with the royal Serbian coat of arms. Following World War I, Serbia had no flag of its own but flew the Yugoslav blue-white-red tricolor. Serbia proclaimed its independence on June 6, adopting the 2004 design for its national flags.
