I have commited the Serbian flag to the right directory. That was 
definitly no place for the Suriname flag, I don't know how it got there 
in the first place.
The thing about flags and other symbols is quite a problem in Serbia and 
Montenegro. Well for those who don't know, these are two republics of the 
former Yugoslavia, and this is also the name for one country or 
something. It's future existance is in question.

The thing about flags is that Serbia and Montenegro separatly have the 
same flag, though politicians in Montenegro claim that their blue is a 
lighter one. It might be so, because it has faded under the strong Sun 
they have, though historicaly this is pure nonsence.
Serbia and Montenegro as one country is currently using Yugoslav flag, and 
there is a parlament debate about the new one (with two blues).

I think it's quite logical to use Serbian flag for SR, and Yugoslav or 
that future thing for YU. YU country code is now CS, except in domains 
where it is still .yu.

About the language Serbian is spoken both in Serbia and Montenegro.
