Obraz Fatherland Movement, a Serbian ultra-nationalist organization, was banned by the Constitutional Court of Serbia in June 2012 due to its members' violent activities, but was refounded and registered some time afterwards under a slightly different name - Serbian Obraz Srbski Obraz. Its members contested the parliamentary election of March 2014 on the list of the Serbian Radical Party (no elected representation gained), still using the same flag, which was seen during the campaign.

The flag of Obraz, as shown on the organization's website, is horizontally divided red-blue, with a white emblem in the center, made up of the Cyrllic letters ОБ АӠ over the Chi Rho christogram, such that its Р its doubles for the one in the name of the organization.

The organization's website (no longer online) explains the colours of the flag mostly with regard to their Christian symbolism, but it is also noted that they are Serbian national colours and that the oldest described Serbian flag employed red and blue. The general design thus recalls the 13th-century flag of Serbia - or more precisely, its modern reconstruction.
