- High Prosecutorial Council of the Republic of Serbia
The High Prosecutorial Council is an independent state body that secures and guarantees the independence of the public prosecution service; it has operated under that name since the constitutional changes of 2022, as successor to the State Prosecutorial Council. The insignia combine the state arms, the tricolour, the sword of justice and the book of law.
Blazon
A shield striped horizontally red, blue and white (in the colours of the tricolour), with a small white shield in the centre bearing the lesser arms of the Republic of Serbia beneath a crown.
Behind the shield an upright sword point downwards, with its gold hilt at the top; above the shield an open book.
Symbolism and meaning
The sword is a sign of justice and its enforcement, the open book of the law, and the tricolour and state arms of the Republic in whose name the prosecution service acts.
