Until 1918, the flag of Montenegro looks like a classic red-white-blue tricolor, which was located in the center of the national emblem. During the German occupation of the country in Montenegro army used military flag adopted until 1918, on a red field, which depicts an eagle and a lion.
Montenegrin independence was recognized in 1878, and that year Montenegro adopted the horizontal red-blue-white tricolor of Serbia (with which it had loose links) for its own state flag. Its pan-Slavic colors were inspired by the Russian flag. When Montenegro acquired a navy, symbols of Prince (later King) Nicholas appeared on the design.
After World War I, independent Montenegro along with several other Balkan countries became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia) and had no flag of its own. Yugoslavia was dissolved by the Axis powers during World War II; Montenegro, nominally independent, was occupied by Italy and again flew the red-blue-white tricolor from July 1941 to November 1943.
Yugoslavia was reestablished as a federation after the war, and its constituent republics were allowed to adopt flags. Montenegro used its tricolor, with a yellow-outlined red star in the center, from December 1946 until 1993. The republic remained (with Serbia) in the Yugoslav federation after the other republics had seceded from it in the early 1990s; the country was known as Serbia and Montenegro in 2003â€"06.
On July 13, 2004, Montenegro received an unmistakable banner. Taking into account an old illustrious pennant, the new banner of Montenegro was red flanked with yellow. At its middle was a yellow twofold headed hawk showing a shield with a lionâ€"the dynastic arms of the NjegoÅ¡ tradition that once managed Montenegro.

On the flag field at an equal distance from the edge of the coat of arms in the form of a two-headed eagle in the royal crown with heraldic shield.
