Flag of Slovakia

🎨 What the flag means

Slovakia's flag has three stripes: white, blue and red, colours shared by many Slavic countries. Near the pole is the coat of arms: a white double cross standing on three blue hills on a red shield. The double cross is a Christian symbol. The three hills are traditionally said to be the Tatra, Fatra and Mátra mountains.
