The current state flag goes back to the first Montenegrin flag, as used by the Principality of Montenegro before the Berlin Congress in 1876. From 1876 to 2004, Montenegro always used different flags based on the Serbian Pan-Slavic tricolor.

The golden striding lion in the eagle's breastplate is an old Montenegrin national symbol and was adopted from the coat of arms of Montenegro .
