Flag of Macedonia

Flag of Macedonia may refer to two different flags used in the historic region of Macedonia. Both consist of a yellow sun on a solid-color background. Both bore the Vergina Sun until 1995 when under Greek pressure the Republic's flag replaced the Vergina Sun with its current sun.
