Antonio Prieto Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Any info for the unkowns ribbons os these plate? Edited July 6, 2013 by Antonio Prieto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Those are ribbons for decorations of Republic of Serbia introduced in 2009. First row is Order of the Serbian Flag (Орден српске заставе) although I think that the stripes should be yellow, not white. Second row is Order of the Star of Karageorge (Орден Карађорђеве звезде), third Order of Sretenje (Candlemas) (Сретењски орден). First ribbons in all three rows represent the look of sashes, neck ribbons and the triangular "chest" ribbons used for those orders, others are for first, second and third grade. Fourth row, from left to right Golden medal for zealous service (Златана медаља за ревносну службу), Silver medal for zealous service (Сребрна медаља за ревнсосну службу), Golden Miloš Obilić bravery medal (Златна медаља за храброст Милош Обилић) Silver Miloš Obilić bravery medal (Сребрна медаља за храброст Милош Обилић). And the last row Golden medal for merits (Златна медаља за заслге) and Silver medal for merits (Сребрна медаља за заслуге). Serbia today has three more orders not represented on table above, Order of Republic of Serbia - 2 grades (Орден Републике Србије) Order of the White Eagle with swords - 3 grades (Орден белог орла са мачевима) and Order of merit for defense and security - 3 grades (Орден заслуга за одбрану и безбедност).

paja Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) I believe that three more orders were instituted later but I was not able to determine when exactly. Those are: 01. Order of the Flag of Republic of Srpska (Орден заставе Републике Српске) 02. Order of St. Petar Zimonjić (Орден светог Петра Зимоњића) 03. Order of Honor (Орден части) The National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska instituted Order of the Flag of Republic of Srpska and Order of Honor on the 25th of July 2002. Order of the Flag has two clases - Order of the Flag of Republic of Srpska with Golden Wreath (1st class) and Order of the Flag of Republic of Srpska with Silver Wreath (2nd class). That also goes for the Order of Honor - Order of Honor with Golden Rays (1st class) and Order of Honor with Silver Rays (2nd class).
