The Constitution of the Republic of Serbia establishes the

Republic of Serbia shall have its coat-of-arms, flag, and
national anthem. The
coat-of-arms is used as the large and small coat-of-arms. The
flag is used as
the national flag and the state flag. The national anthem is a
19th century
ceremonial song Boze Pravde (God of Justice).
In 2009, the National Assembly adopted theLaw on the design and

coat-of-arms, flag and anthem of the Republic
of Serbia. According to this law, the Serbian
coat-of-arms is the one defined by the Law on

from 16 June 1882. The flag of the Republic
of Serbia is used as a national and state flag
in the proportion of 3:2 (length to height). The
standard is a square-shaped state flag used
by the President of the Republic and the
President of the National Assembly.
The national anthem of Serbia is a 19th
century ceremonial song Boze Pravde (Godof Justice), composed by
Davorin Jenko and
with lyrics by Jovan Djordjevic.
Text of the national anthem of Serbia is as follows:
God of Justice; Thou who saved us
when in deepest bondage cast,
Hear Thy Serbian children's voices,
Be our help as in the past.
With Thy mighty hand sustain us,
Still our rugged pathway trace;
God, our hope; protect and cherish
Serbian lands and Serbian race!
Bind in closest links our kindred
Teach the love that will not fail,
May the loathed fiend of discord
Never in our ranks prevail.
Let the golden fruits of union
Our young tree of freedom grace;
God, our Master! guide and prosper
Serbian lands and Serbian race!
Lord! Avert from us Thy vengeance,
Thunder of Thy dreaded ire;
Bless each Serbian town and hamlet,
Mountain, meadow, heart and spire.
When our host goes forth to battle
Death or victory to embrace-
God of armies! be our leader
Strengthen then the Serbian race!

On our sepulchre of ages
Breaks the resurrection morn,
From the slough of direst slavery
Serbia anew is born.
Through five hundred years of durance
We have knelt before Thy face,
All our kin, O God! deliver,
Thus entreats the Serbian race!
