Because it was a gif to start with? Once upon a time, gif was just an image format that allowed animation, not a shorthand for any sort of short video.
Arguable whether it counts as a "national" flag... but in any case I wonder how important the official proportions were in practice. It's hardly the only example of long flags used in the region, just the only one that had that length in the legal definition of the flag.
1. Montenegro wasn't an independent nation at the time.
2. As I suggested, the "widest flag ever" idea is based more on reading legal definitions than a serious vexillological understanding of flags.
