The coat of arms

After independance in 1992 Macedonia retained the coat of arms adopted in 1946 (by the Act on the Coat of Arms of the People's Republic of Macedonia, adopted by the People's Assembly of the People's Republic of Macedonia on its second extraordinary session held on July 27, 1946, later on altered by article 8 of the Constitution of the Socialist Republic of Macedonia). as the emblem of the People's Republic of Macedonia within Yugoslavia. A new law is to be proclaimed
The coat of arms is described this way:

The coat-of-arms is composed by a double bent garland of ears of wheat, tobacco and poppy, tied by a ribbon with the pattern of a traditional costume. In the centre of such a circular room there are mountains, rivers, lakes and the sun; where the ears join there is a red five-pointed star. All this represents 'the richness of our country, the struggle and the freedom'.

Giuseppe Bottasini, 28 August 1995

According to the Macedonian Heraldry website, the coat of arms of Macedonia doesn't appear on the passports. A proposal by a MP to remove the red star wasn't accepted. It seems that the change of the coat of arms creates many problems. The adoption of the traditional gold lion on red shield seems not to be possible because (according to the website):

the VMRO-DPMNE party already adopted the gold lion on red as its own emblem;
Albanian parties are opposed to this coat of arms "blaming it for only representing the Macedonians (as people) and not others."
Among others many say that it is a Bulgarian symbol.
That is why we still have the old socialist type coat of arms.
