Flag of Skopje

The old flag of Skopje in Socialist Yugoslavia was seen in an exhibition of Socialist partner cities of Dresden (then in the German Democratic Republic), in the beginning of the 1980s. The emblem must have been adopted in the 1950s or even before. In any case, it was shown on 1969 postage stamps of Yugoslavia.[citation needed]
