Flag of the week: Macedonia



Macedonia used to be part of Yugoslavia.  This flag was adopted after Macedonia became independent in 1992.  The emblem on this flag is based on the Star of Vergina which is said to have derived originally from a decoration on the gold coffin of the father of Alexander the Great.  The star in the centre was changed to a sun after a diplomatic tussle with Greece.
