Status of the army flags

According to information I got from Major Jovan Milak, of Serbian Army, unit flags are temporary and should be changed by the end of the year.
These flags can be regularly seen during new brigades' formation ceremonies, wich are part of the Serbian army's reform. During the ceremony, the Serbian President gives the flag to the brigade's commander.

The Serbian Military Army Protocol document is ready for offical signature. This document regulates the usage of state and military flags.
Every branch and military unit has the right to have a flag, as well as the Defence Minister and cabinet members, operative centers, units and military institutions on brigade level.
Pennants are for units smaller than a brigade.
Banners are for the Defence Minister, Joint (and deputy) chief of staff commander and members, operative commanders, brigade commanders, department and other individual (rank) flags...
The document also describes the size, proportions, handling and other flag related usages such as flag-shaped patches on uniforms, etc.

River Flotilla

River Flotilla flag, unconfirmed design - Image by Milan Jovanović & Željko Heimer, 18 February 2007

While watching pictures from military maneuvers in Belgrade that marked the Serbian Statehood and Army Day, I have noticed a new flag (photo).
It is a red flag with the Serbian state flag in the upper corner. The flag is probably based on the naval ensigns of the former Federative Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro.
No official source has reported this flag yet, but itis probably a part of the overall change of the symbols of the Serbian Army.

Milan Jovanović, 18 February 2007

It looks to me as if the state flag in the canton does occupy less than half the length and less than half the width of the whole flag. This is difficult to say from the photography, though.
