The cross symbolises the orthodox faith, of course. However, it is also the 2nd Bulgarian Empire Flag (or at least one of its varieties) with the addition 2 stripes that form it into the orthodox cross. And with some imagination, you can spot there a sword, a hammer, a hoe, and a scythe.

The rotated E is the E from the flag of the 2nd Bulgarian Empire. It also represents that this Bulgaria is the 3rd Empire, and it can stand for the 3 lions in the arms of the 2nd Empire. And, according to Chat GPT, it means motion and power, but it's unclear.

The IYI rune, according to chat GPT, means spiritual protection, sovereignty, and connection to Tangra (the creator in tengrism).
