The Republic of Serbian Krajina was a self-proclaimed Serbian entity in Croatia during the 1990s. Established in 1991, it was not recognized internationally. Its main portion was overrun by Croatian forces in 1995; a rump remained in existence in eastern Slavonia under UN administration until its peaceful reincorporation into Croatia in 1998.
Its flag consisted of a horizontal tricolour of red, blue, and white, identical to the Serbian national flag. The flag was adopted by the Republic of Serbian Krajina Government-in-exile in 2005. The government in exile seeks to gain autonomy for Krajina by gaining support from countries worldwide. Their efforts thus far have shown little results.

“Swift blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”
—Stephen Crane (1871–1900)

Make plain to them the excellence of killing
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.”

“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“Absolute virtue is impossible and the republic of forgiveness leads, with implacable logic, to the republic of the guillotine.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
