The Slovak flag is a horizontal tricolour of white, blue, and red with the national coat of arms on the left side. The coat of arms features a patriarchal double cross on three blue mountains. The Pan-Slavic colors and arrangement are very similar to the Russian and Slovenian flags, with the coat of arms added to distinguish it.
Slovakia added its coat of arms to the flag specifically to distinguish it from the very similar Russian and Slovenian flags.
