![[Emblem of Democratic Party]](../images/c/cs}dp).gif)
by Tomislav Todorovič & Mladen Mijatov
The emblem of the Democratic Party was adopted in 1990, shortly after its founding and before any of its flags, and was used in the campaigns before the elections in December 1990. Unlike the flags, the emblem remained unchanged ever since. It is a blue square charged with a large yellow disc, which is set off-centre, closer to the bottom right corner of the square. According to Radomir VukoviČ(Patria Partija, KVADART #5, p. 14; Belgrade, 1996), the colours are those of the European Union flag, the position of the disc corresponds with the geographic location of Serbia in the south-east of Europe, as seen on the map, and complete design symbolizes party's goals: building a modern democratic society in Serbia and country's eventual joining the European Union.
Tomislav Todorovič, 10 December 2004
It seems that there are several possible variations of this flag: no letters, big "DS" in white, big "DS" in yellow, "Demokratska Stranka" in one line in white, "Demokratska Stranka" in one line in yellow, "Demokratska Stranka" in two lines in white, and "Demokratska Stranka" in two lines in yellow. The question is which are actually used.
António Martins, 23 September 1999
The flag of the party was changed from demonstration to
demonstration in summer-autumn 1999, and there was plenty of them
here.
The flag shown above was used during a demonstration on 23 September
1999, I had a close look at it, I measured it and even touch it.
Ivan Sarajčić, 24 September 1999
