About the flag
Moldova shares Romania’s blue-yellow-red tricolour, reflecting their shared history and language, but adds an eagle holding a cross with a shield bearing an aurochs head, the old symbol of Moldavia.
How to spot it: Blue-yellow-red vertical with an eagle coat of arms in the centre; Romania has no emblem and Andorra’s emblem has no eagle.
