They're now all under Serbia. There are three choices for Serbia, the first is actually Serbia, the second is Yugoslavia, the third is Serbia and Montenegro.
I don't think it matters, though it would be nice to have them better labelled in the list. The Serb flag is there for those who want it. If someone wants to fly the Yugoslav flag, is there any reason they shouldn't? A bigger problem is that the country list is out of date and so are some of the flags. Maybe someday I'll email staff and offer to help them fix it.

True. That's why I asked the question about Yugoslavia flag.

Sorry, I don't think you got what I was saying. They still have the Yugoslavia flag, but I don't think it matters. They have the modern Serbian flag if you want it. But if you're from Tuvalu (which admittedly most of us aren't), the flag is out of date, they don't have the current flag.

it's like holding USSR flag but if I'm not mistaken there is nobody holding it, so why we should face Yugoslavia flag?

I must say that many members still sorry for USSR seeing they are part of such groups. But anyway it's interesting why we don't have USSR flag but have Yugoslavia
Catalonia, Galicia and Basque Country have a special status as historical countries in the current autonomical Spanish state if I'm not wrong. Basque flag isn't available in V2 though, but it is in V3.

Who they? Yugoslavia doesn't exist. It didn't exist when this website was created.
If you are talking about some people with nostalgic feelings then we need all the old flags here, like the Confederate Navy Jack, the USSR flag, etc.

Theron, your country is gorgeous. Want to go some day.
Kyrgyzstan? Yeah, me too. I have to confess I'm no more Kyrgyz than you are. Though I might find communication there a bit easier.

I called Ridley Scott to ask the same question. He didn't have the answer.

I can't change the country in my profile to "Yugoslavia" in V2 or V3, and I believe people can't choose it when creating a new account either.
Clearly at one stage the web site did allow people to choose Yugoslavia, and although that has now changed, Chess.com has not forced members who had chosen Yugoslavia before that change to choose something else. I think that's perfectly reasonable: there would be lot more people annoyed with Chess.com forcing such a change on them than there are people getting upset that others still have a country and flag that no longer exists.
I think it's a bigger issue when the flag for a country had changed and it hasn't been updated. The Iraqi flag is still wrong under V2, but has been fixed in V3.
mobreht joined Chess.com in July 2009. That is 6 years after Yugoslavia was officially renamed to Serbia and Montenegro. Not 1, not 3, but 6 years. And that was 3 years after Serbia and Montenegro officially split into two different countries.
We can see both options at Chess.com, Yugoslavia and Serbia-Montenegro. It means that at some point in the past Chess.com introduced a new country name, Serbia-Montenegro, but kept the old one, Yugoslavia. Which is wrong, because Yugoslavia had to be renamed to Serbia-Montenegro.
I believe Chess.com has to pay more attention to such things.
Yes, back to Yugoslavia.
-and this is why I chose 'international'...

That's actually not true. You could still select Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro, but both were in the list as "Serbia". I don't think having extra flags is a big problem, as I said before, but they should be removed or renamed. And rejoice! In V3 the extra options have been removed. so the problem that so upsets the OP is already fixed.

Spend some of the best times of my life in Yugoslavia (all parts of it). I don't care in how many pieces they chop up that country. For ME it will always be Yugoslavia.
What a disaster when Tito died. Everything went to ****.
Why do some Chess.com users have Yugoslavia flag if Yougoslavia doesn't exist since 2003?
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was officially renamed to Serbia and Montenegro in 2003. Serbia and Montenegro existed till 2006.
Chess.com was created in 2005. So when Chess.com appeared Yugoslavia hasn't existed for 2 years.
