Following a proposal by the Antena 3 television station, Bucharest decided to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest flag. This feat was accomplished on May 27 with a 79,000 square metre banner, which was 330 m long, 220m wide and weighed 5 tonnes.
The flag was unfurled by 200 people at Clinceni airport, near Bucharest, the Romanian daily reports.
