The present flag denotes two stripes, where there is a blue stripe right at the top, and then there is a black stripe which is right at the bottom with 6 silver stars, 3 designed on each stripe. One of the recent events includes one such event where the flag was to have been given a recognized status in the anticipated European Constitution.
