2004 Legislation

The Law "About State symbols of the Republic of Belarus", dated 5 June 2004, can be downloaded in pdf format from <pravo.by/pdf/2004-111/2004-111(004-016).pdf>. Includes an b/w image of the coat of arms, with minor changes from the version previously known, but no image of the flag. This Law supersedes previous legislation about flag and coat of arms from 1995 and hymn from 2002. The list of acts superseded can also be downloaded from <pravo.by/pdf/2004-157/2004-157(004-007).pdf>. The source seems to be some kind of "Official Gazette", with mixed texts in Russian and Byelorussian. No apparent change in flag description, however.
