| | Croatia |
| | The Croatian flag carried in front of the team at Sydney 2000 Olympic games ceremony, was not quite as it should be - the coat of arms was moved a bit too much down, the space between the crest and shield was white (should be "transparent", and therefore red). | | | - The cheap-political accusations that the current state Coat of Arms is taken from Ustasha Independent State of Croatia [WWII axis state, in territory of current Croatia and BandH] are really funny. | | | In May 1992 Croatia was admited to United Nations. |
