Flag of Montenegro

The current flag of Montenegro, adopted on July 12, 2004, is based on the historical flag that was valid until World War I, the time of the first Montenegrin independence (see below). The golden striding lion in the eagle's breast shield is an ancient Montenegrin national symbol.Source: Wikipedia.com

Hymn

Oj svijetla majska zoroOj svijetla majska zoroMajko naša Crna GoroSinovi smo tvog stijenjaI cuvari tvog poštenjaVolimo vas, brda tvrda,I stravicne vaše klanceKoji nikad ne poznašeSramotnoga ropstva lance.Dok lovcenskoj našoj misliNaša sloga daje krila,Bit ce gorda, bit ce slavnaDomovina naša mila.Rijeka ce naših vala,Uskacuci u dva mora,Glas nositi okeanu,Da je vjecna Crna Gora.German translation:Oh, you bright dawn in May,Our mother Montenegro,We are sons of your rocks,And guardians of your honesty.We love you, hard mountains,And your dreaded mountain ranges,Who never knewThe chains of shameful slavery.While our Lovcens senseGives wings to our unity,Will be proud, will be famousOur beloved homeland.The river from our shores,Jumped into two seas,Will carry the voice to the ocean,That Montenegro is eternal.Oj svijetla majska zoro ("Oh, you bright dawn in May") is the national anthem of Montenegro. Even before that it was a popular folk song of Montenegrins, sung in a wide variety of versions. The lyrics were written by Sekula Drljevic in 1937.
