Flag of Kalinovac

The symbols of Kalinovac are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi Općine Kalinovac, adopted on 30 August 2005 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 28 September 2005 in the County official gazette Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko-križevacke županije, No. 9.
The Decision was adopted a year after the design of the symbols had been established, probably after approval from the central authorities. We know that the symbols were already in use in 2004.

The symbols, except the ceremonial flag, are described in the Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Kalinovac, adopted on 17 January 2006 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 26 January 2006 in Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko-križevacke županije, No. 1. This is repeated in the Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Kalinovac, adopted on 1 July 2009 and published on 15 July 2009 in Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko-križevacke županije, No. 9, and in the current Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Kalinovac, adopted on 28 March 2013 and published on 29 May 2013 in Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko-križevacke županije, No. 6 (text).

Decision Odluka o osnivanju Povjerenstva za utvrivanje uvjeta i raspisivanje natječaja za izradu idejnog rješenja grba i zastave Općine Kalinovac, adopted on 25 March 1999 and published on 22 april 1999 in Službeni glasnik Županije Koprivnicko-križevacke, No. 3, appointed a commission appointed a commission to run the public contest for the symbols. The five-member Commission was chaired by the painter Ivan Lacković Croata. The prizes were established as 6,000 HRK for the first prize and 4,000 HRK for the second prize.

The symbols were designed by the Heraldic Art d.o.o. company, from Rijeka.

The flag is in proportions 1:2, blue with the coat of arms, bordered white, in the middle.
The flag is also used with the coat of arms outlined in yellow (photo).

Coat of arms of Kalinovac

Coat of arms of Kalinovac, official version and early proposal - Image by Željko Heimer, 16 June 2013

The coat of arms is "Or a privet bush vert fructed sable issuant from a mount of the second".
The wild privet (Croatian, kalina) with its characteristic black berries makes the arms canting.
An earlier proposal of the arms shows the privet as eradicated.

Željko Heimer, 16 June 2013

Genus Ligustrum belongs to Family Oleaceae, along with olive tree (Olea), ash tree (Fraxinus), and several ornemental and odoriferous shrubs, such as forsythia, lilac (Syringa), filaria (Phillyrea), and jasmine (Jasminum). The name Ligustrum, coined by Tournefort, is the antique name of the privet, but its exact meaning and origin are unknown. The wild privet is Ligustrum vulgare L. Other privet species were introduced in Europe from Japan, for instance, L. ovalifolium Hassk. (1844) and L. japonicum Thunbg. (1796), and from China (L. lucidum Aiton).
