Municipal flag of Krško - Image by Željko Heimer, 11 September 2004
See also:
The municipality of Krško is located in the lower valley of Sava river, near the place where Sava enters Croatia. Krško is probably most known for the nuclear power plant built there, which is the only one in former Yugoslavia, and presumably the energy mentioned below on should refer to it.

The flag of Krško is prescribed by succesive Decisions:
- Odlok o znaku in zastavi Občine Krško, adopted on 30 June 1981 and published on 16 July 1981 in the local official gazette Skuposinski dolenjski list, 21/1981;The flag is rectangular, in proportions 2:1 (vertical), green with the emblem placed near the bottom. Details of the size and position of the emblem are not given in the Decisions, but are left for a further Decision. Such a Decision seems not to have been adopted yet, therefore the 1981 and subsequent regulations should be followed.
The emblem is picturing the river Sava flowing from the hilly
region into the ravines of Krško fields. It also represents energy.
Below the emblem, as a part of it, is written the name of the
municipality.
The emblem was designed by Judita Skalar
