The national emblem of the Republic of Macedonia depicts two curvedgarlands of sheaves of wheat, tobaccoleaves and opium poppy fruits, tied by aribbon decorated with embroidery of traditional Macedonian folk motifs. In the centre of the ovoid frame are depicted a mountain, a lake and a sunrise. The features of the national coat of arms contain a rising sun which symbolizes fre, the Šar Mountains with its peak named Ljubotenor Mount Korab and the river Vardar,with LAKE OHRID. The emblem also contains opium poppy fruits; this poppy was brought to Macedonia by the Ottoman Empire in the first half of 19th century. Until 16 November 2009, the emblem also depicted a socialistic five-pointed star in the top. The national parliament adopted the proposal to remove this element with 80 votes in favor and 18 against. The emblem that included the red star had been in use since 1946, shortly after the republic became part of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The emblem is based upon the EMBLEM OF YUGOSLAVIA and is unrelated to the historical COATS OF ARMS of Macedonia. Along with BELARUS, the Republic of Macedonia is one of the few remaining European countries that continue to employ socialistic symbolism.
Proposed heraldic replacemen
Between the 14th and the 19th centuries foreign armorials commonly represented "Macedonia" by means of a golden lion on red field or of a red lion on a golden field. The earliest known example of this is the Fojnica Armorialfrom 1340, and later examples include the Korenić-Neorić armorial of 1595, a 1630 armorial on display in the Belgrade Museum of Contemporary Art and a 17th-century armorial in Berlin Library.
On several occasions the reintroduction of the historical coat of arms has been proposed. A proposal by architect and graphic designer Miroslav Grčev was put forward in 1992 to replace it with a revised version of the historical gold lion on a red shield. The Macedonian Heraldry Society considers that coat of arms to have been the best solution for a new state emblem.However, this was rejected on three main grounds:
