![[Flag of SDS]](../images/b/ba}sds.gif)
by Zeljko Heimer and Jorge Candeias

The SDS flag is the standard Serbian tricolour red over blue
over white, with a yellow device in the middle made of cyrillic
letters SDS (S in cyrillic is as latin C, and D is similar to
greek delta with some 'pins' stretching down, therefore it is
also similar to latin A). SDS stands for Srpska Demokratska
Stranka - Serb Democratic Party - a party lead by Radovan
Karadzic in Bosnia, and the ideological 'avantguard' of Serbian
doings in the war in Bosnia (and in Croatia, the rebels were lead
by SDS, too). The flag is in use since 1990 or beginning 1991
when the party was formed.
Zeljko Heimer, 5 July 1996
the flag of the Serb Democratic Party of Bosnia and
Herzegovina is is the Serbian (R/B+/W) with its emblem (monogram)
in gold centered thereon: the monogram is a stylized ΡΔΡ
(=SDS), with the 2 s (ess) asides against the sides of the
<D> (dye)—note that the left-hand (ess) is
depicted as mirrored backwards.
Robert Lloyd Wheelock and Jorge Candeias, 25
September 1999
Interesting to note that the (bosnian) Serb Democratic Party
SDS has almost nothing in common with the Yugoslav Democratic
Party SD.
Antonio Martins, 26 September 1999
The flag with SDS is the party flag of Srpska Demokratska
Stranka, the party that lead Bosnian and Croat Serbs into the
"rebelion". If I'm not much mistaken, SDS was lead in
B&H by Karadjic, who is still wanted for war crimes, though
it may be that the new reformed SDS exists now in B&H.
Anyway, SDS flag was no unfrequently seen in B&H (i.e.
Srpska), but almost regularly side by side with simple undefaced
tricolour.
