description

In blue a rising yellow sun on which a blue gear wheel lies. The whole is surrounded by a bouquet of golden wheat on the right and oak leaves on the left . A red five-pointed star above the coat of arms . The red center shield shows the stylized Cyrillic letter С (= Latin S) only four times in silver. These letters resemble the silver fire steel . The symbolism goes back to Stefan Nemanja . His reign was from 1167 to 1196.

The common silver cross, which was in this Serbian coat of arms for a long time, was removed for ideological reasons and has not been square on the shield since then. A red band shows the years 1804 and 1941. The first number refers to the first Serbian uprising against the Ottoman Empire . The second number refers to the national uprising against the Axis powers during World War II .
