News Agency DPA reported Alizee Poulicek was booed by the crowd when she was asked about her hopes for the future of Flemish during the Miss Belgium 2008 beauty pageant.
"I ... I do not understand," Poulicek replied as the audience bagan booing.
Some said the incident highlighted the tensions between the French and Dutch speaking communities in Belgium.
Belgium is divided between the Flemish-speaking majority of Flanders and the French-speaking minority in Wallonia, DPA reported.
The country has been unable to form a new government since the general election six months ago, leading to speculation that Belgium could split into French- and Dutch-speaking regions.
