Presentation of Štrpce

Štrpce is a small municipality located in a valley surrounded by high mountains in southeastern part of Kosovo. The municipality has an absolute majority of Serbian population.
Štrpce must be a new municipality (according to the new administrative divisions from 1990), since the place of that name was part of the municipality of Uroševac before 1990. The place is on the road from Uroševac to Prizren.

This flag was proposed by the Centre for Research of Orthodox Monarchism and was adopted on 2007-11-15 [2]. The current flag was thus adopted later, the adoption date still to be discovered.

This proposed flag was designed by the Serbian Heraldry Society.
Dragomir Acović explains the design as follows:

The meaning of the flag is quite simple: the vertical stripes and the bottom one form the Cyrillic letter Š, as the initial of Štrpce, while the triangular motive alludes to the Šara Mountain. Red and white are the Serbian armorial colors.

Ivan Sarajčić & Ivan Sache, 3 October 2007

This flag was proposed by the Serbian Heraldic Society, but never adopted by the municipality: it was never officially presented to the municipal assembly and the proposal even seems to have been lost after a change of administration [1].
