The inspiration of the [pan-Slavic](/source/Pan-Slavism) colors in 1848 [Russian tricolor](/source/Russian_tricolor) of [Peter the Great](/source/Peter_the_Great) from 1693 [Pan-Slavic](/source/Pan-Slavic) flag from 1848 The **pan-Slavic colors**—[blue](/source/Blue), [white](/source/White) and [red](/source/Red)—were defined by the [Prague Slavic Congress, 1848](/source/Prague_Slavic_Congress%2C_1848), based on the symbolism of the colors of the [flag of Russia](/source/Flag_of_Russia), which was introduced in the late 17th century. Historically, however, many [Slavic](/source/Slavs) nations and states had already adopted flags and other national symbols that used some combination of those three colors. [Slavic countries](/source/Slavic_countries) that use or have used the colors include [Russia](/source/Russia), [Yugoslavia](/source/Yugoslavia),[1] [Czechoslovakia](/source/Czechoslovakia),[2] [Czech Republic](/source/Czech_Republic),[2] [Slovakia](/source/Slovakia),[3] [Croatia](/source/Croatia),[3] [Serbia](/source/Serbia)[3] and [Slovenia](/source/Slovenia),[3] whereas [Belarus](/source/Belarus), [Bosnia and Herzegovina](/source/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina), [Bulgaria](/source/Bulgaria), [Montenegro](/source/Montenegro), [North Macedonia](/source/North_Macedonia), [Poland](/source/Poland)[a] and [Ukraine](/source/Ukraine) use different color schemes. Yugoslavia, both the Kingdom ([Kingdom of Yugoslavia](/source/Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia), 1918–1943) and the Republic ([SFR Yugoslavia](/source/SFR_Yugoslavia), 1943–1992) was a union of several Slavic nations, and therefore not only sported the pan-Slavic colors but adopted the pan-Slavic flag as its own (later adding a [red star](/source/Red_star)). After the initial [breakup of Yugoslavia](/source/Breakup_of_Yugoslavia) in the early 1990s, the two remaining Yugoslav republics—Montenegro and Serbia—reconstituted as [Federal Republic of Yugoslavia](/source/Federal_Republic_of_Yugoslavia) in 1992 and as [State Union of Serbia and Montenegro](/source/State_Union_of_Serbia_and_Montenegro) in 2003, and continued to use the pan-Slavic flag until its own dissolution when Montenegro [proclaimed independence](/source/Montenegrin_independence_referendum%2C_2006) in 2006. Serbia continues to use a [flag](/source/Flag_of_Serbia) with all three Pan-Slavic colors, along with fellow republics Croatia and Slovenia. Most flags with pan-Slavic colors have been introduced and recognized by Slavic nations following the first Slavic Congress of 1848, although Serbia adopted its [red-blue-white tricolor](/source/Flag_of_Serbia) in 1835 and the ethnic flag of [Sorbs](/source/Sorbs) (blue-red-white) had already been designed in 1842. The [flag of Slovene nation](/source/Flag_of_Slovenia#Origins) (white-blue-red), which was based on the flag of [Carniola](/source/Carniola), was introduced two months prior to the congress. Czech [Moravians](/source/Moravians) proclaimed their flag (white-red-blue) at the very congress. In 1848, Croatian viceroy [Josip Jelačić](/source/Josip_Jela%C4%8Di%C4%87) first designed the [flag of Croatia](/source/Flag_of_Croatia) with its modern tricolor (red-white-blue) for the then-concepted [Triune Kingdom](/source/Triune_Kingdom) (and officially adopted by the [Kingdom of Croatia](/source/Kingdom_of_Croatia_(Habsburg))), a group of Slovenian intellectuals in [Vienna, Austria](/source/Vienna%2C_Austria) created the [flag of Slovenia](/source/Flag_of_Slovenia) (white-blue-red), and the first [Slovak flag](/source/Slovak_flag) (in reverse layout – red-blue-white) was introduced and flown by [Slovak revolutionaries](/source/Slovak_Uprising_of_1848%E2%80%9349).[4] The [flag of the Czech Republic](/source/Flag_of_the_Czech_Republic) adopted its three [national colors](/source/National_colours_of_the_Czech_Republic) in 1920 with the founding of [Czechoslovakia](/source/Czechoslovakia). ## Flags with Pan-Slavic colors ### Current national flags - [Croatia](/source/Flag_of_Croatia)[5] - [Czech Republic](/source/Flag_of_the_Czech_Republic),[2] formerly [Czechoslovakia](/source/Flag_of_Czechoslovakia) (1918–1993) - [Russia](/source/Flag_of_Russia)[3] - [Serbia](/source/Flag_of_Serbia)[3] - [Slovakia](/source/Flag_of_Slovakia)[6][3] - [Slovenia](/source/Flag_of_Slovenia)[3] ### Former national flags with the Pan-Slavic colors - Flag of [Kingdom of Montenegro](/source/Kingdom_of_Montenegro) (1910–1916) - [Kingdom of Serbia](/source/Flag_of_Serbia) (1882–1918) - [Kingdom of Yugoslavia](/source/Flag_of_Yugoslavia) (1918–1941)[1] - Flag of the [Independent State of Croatia](/source/Independent_State_of_Croatia) (1941–1945) - [Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia](/source/Flag_of_Yugoslavia) (1945–1992)[1] - [Russia](/source/Flag_of_Russia) (1991–1993) - [Serbia and Montenegro](/source/Flag_of_Serbia_and_Montenegro) (1992–2006)[5] - [Autonomous Slovak land](/source/Autonomous_Land_of_Slovakia) within the [Second Czechoslovak Republic](/source/Second_Czechoslovak_Republic) (1938–1939) [First Slovak Republic](/source/First_Slovak_Republic) (1939–1945) [Slovak Socialist Republic](/source/Slovak_Socialist_Republic) within [Czechoslovak Socialist Republic](/source/Czechoslovak_Socialist_Republic) (1969–1990) [Slovak Republic](/source/Slovak_Socialist_Republic_(1969%E2%80%931990)%2FSlovak_Republic_(1990%E2%80%931992)) within [Czech and Slovak Federative Republic](/source/Czech_and_Slovak_Federative_Republic) (1990–1992) - [Montenegro](/source/Flag_of_Montenegro) (1994 proposal, never implemented) ### Other entities - [Serbian Krajina](/source/Republic_of_Serbian_Krajina) - [Republika Srpska](/source/Flag_of_Republika_Srpska)[7] - The [Polish National Government](/source/Polish_National_Government_(January_Uprising)) during the [January Uprising](/source/January_Uprising)[8][9] - [Transnistria (Pridnestrovie)](/source/Flag_of_Transnistria) (co-official flag)[10][b] - Traditional flag [Vojvodina](/source/Vojvodina) - Flag of Vojvodina - The [Sorbs](/source/Sorbs)[12] - The [Rusyns](/source/Rusyns)[13] - [Crimea](/source/Flag_of_Crimea) - The [Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia](/source/Croatian_Republic_of_Herzeg-Bosnia) - The [Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia](/source/Protectorate_of_Bohemia_and_Moravia) - The [Kingdom of Slavonia](/source/Kingdom_of_Slavonia) - The [Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia](/source/Kingdom_of_Croatia-Slavonia) ## See also - [Nordic Cross flag](/source/Nordic_Cross_flag) - [Pan-Arab colors](/source/Pan-Arab_colors) - [Pan-African colors](/source/Pan-African_colors) - [Pan-nationalism](/source/Pan-nationalism) - [Pan-Slavism](/source/Pan-Slavism) - [List of flags with blue, red, and white stripes](/source/List_of_flags_with_blue%2C_red%2C_and_white_stripes) ## Notes 1. **[^](#cite_ref-4)** The [flag of Poland](/source/Flag_of_Poland) is red and white, but has different roots that pre-date the pan-Slavic colors. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-13)** Although the majority of the population of [Transnistria](/source/Transnistria) is Slavic ([Russian](/source/Russians) and [Ukrainian](/source/Ukrainians)), the largest single ethnic group are the [Romanians](/source/Romanians).[11] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-Yugoslavia_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-Yugoslavia_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-Yugoslavia_1-2) [*The Encyclopedia Americana, Volume 11*](https://books.google.com/books?id=wVkdAQAAMAAJ&q=Pan-Slavic).
