At Album 2000 [pay00] -
Minister of Defence (2:3) - National flag with black anchor
topped with stylized "bird badge" centered on the flag.
Zeljko Heimer, 20 May 2001
The stylization of the black emblems are a bit different from
previously reporeted flags, but I am inclined to give right to
the Album 2000 versions (this, first of all, goes for the shape
of the "bird badge", as I called it). However, one
should not rule out the possibility that in last 150 years or so
how long these flags are used (if I understood rightly, they are
quite as old as the national flag) the stylization might have
changed a bit.

At [pay00], fig. 11 Captions
says "... elected President". Are there non-elected
presidents? Possibly there is someting behind this wording that I
don't understand right.
Zeljko Heimer, 9 January 2001
I would suggest that "pre'sident elu" [presumably
"presidente eligido" in Spanish] is probably better
translated as "president- elect," meaning a president
who has been elected but has not yet taken office.

At Album 2000 [pay00] - State
Minister or elected President (2:3) - National flag with a black
"bird badge" in canton.
The flag was previously reported as "Ministers and
Ambassadors Flag", but I guess that Armand's interpretation
is more correct (or is it?). Also, am I right that "state
ministers" are not all the members of the government, but
only few ministers holding the most important positions, maybe
with specially authorities/responsibilities?
Zeljko Heimer, 22 May 2001
I've never seen it but of course that doen't mean it doesn't
exist. Elected President referrs to a president who has been
elected but has not taken office (President-Elect). Presidential
elections take place in May but the president does not take
office until August 7, leaving a three months interval. State
Minister referrs to "Ministro de Estado", also known as
"Ministro Delegatrio". This is a figure by which a
minister temporarily (usually a few days) carries on the
president's functions at home while the president is travelling.
