Should Macedonia change the coat of arms?

[Vojnik]

Macedonia is currently using the same coat of arms from the Yugoslav era, minus the red star on top. It looks very communist to me. I believe Macedonia should change the coat of arms back to the original lion coat of arms.

Current coat of arms:

Yes, I think we should return the red star on top.

Nine worthies, Alexander the Great coat of arms.



The lion has been used as a symbol in Macedonia since ancient time.

Funny that Greeks don't use the lion as a national symbol, yet we Macedonians have always done so.

Bulgarians also use this ancient symbol. One out of many things that makes Macedonians and Bulgarians close.

The coat of arms concept didn't exist in Caesar's and Alexander's time. Those are an artist's idea from 1000+ years later.
