Coats of arms of the Yugoslav Socialist Republics
- Coats of arms of the Yugoslav Socialist Republics
Coats of arms of the Yugoslav socialist republics 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 watermarks of school diplomas, 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 (the traditional cross on the Serbian coat of arms, ethnic or religious coat of arms for Bosnia and Herzegovina, the former traditionally monarchist symbolism for Montenegro or the historical lion for Macedonia), prominent features or unofficial national symbols were added, eg. mount Lovćen for Montenegro, chimneys 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.
