The flag and arms of the SIS are prescribed by Presidential Decree No. 923
issued on 20 December 2013 and published on 27 December 2013 in the official
gazette No. 304-310, Article 844.
The flag is composed of a rectangular
cloth (2:3), blue, charged in the center with the emblem of the SIS (an
eight-rayed yellow star with two elongated vertical rays, charged in the center
with the lesser coat of arms of the Republic of Moldova: horizontally divided
red-blue charged with an auroch's head, surrounded between the horns by an
eight-pointed star, dexter by a rose and sinister by a contourned crescent, all
in yellow).
Blue, of the same shade as on the state flag of the Republic
of Moldova, is the traditional color of the SIS, It conveys attachment to
tradition and principle of continuity in defending the interests of the state
and citizens, human openness and remains a key to useful activity in accordance
with the principles of civil society. In heraldry, blue is a symbol of fidelity
and perseverance; it is associated with the color of the sky, with the idea of
peace and of belonging to the European civilization.
The eight-rayed star is
of specific shape. The two elongated rays represent intelligence and
counter-intelligence as the main directions of activity of the service. Gold
represents the brilliance, excellence and high professionalism of the staff of
the service.
The lesser coat of arms of Moldova means the belonging of the
service to the system of public authorities of national level.
