In 2022, the coat of arms and thus the flag were redesigned, and they are now
harmonized with Croatian heraldry.
A 1:2 white flag with a yellow
bordered coat of arms of the municipality in the middle.
The coat of arms of
the Municipality consists of a heart-shaped shield and the content inside it.
The background of the upper part of the coat of arms is blue, and in the middle
of the blue field there is a flat gold-yellow cross. The lower part of the coat
of arms is covered by a silver-white castle that ends on the middle of the
shield with a jagged edge. There are three portals of closed brown doors on the
castle. The coat of arms is framed by a black border along the line of the
shield.
