Flag of Primošten - Image by Željko Heimer, 24 July 2004
See also:
Primošten is located some 15 km south of Šibenik, on the coast. Population is 5,000, some 1,700 in the town of the same name.
Primošten is an old picturesque little town built over small islets just off the coast, connected to it with a single brigde with it (as its name sates, since rimošten would mean, more or less, "bridged over").
Željko Heimer, 24 July 2004
The symbols of Primošten and their use are prescribed by Decision Odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Općine Primošten, adopted on 26 October 2000 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 14 November 2000 in Službeni vjesnik Šibensko-kninske županije, No. 9 (with drawings of the symbols).
The symbols were approved by the Ministry of Justice, Administration and Local Self-Government on 30 March 2001.
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 yellow, in the middle.

Coat of arms of Primošten - Image by Željko Heimer, 24 July 2004
The coat of arms pictures in a blue shield a statue of the Black Viegin surrounded with seven eight-pointed golden stars. The stars represent the severn islets on which Primošten is built. The Black Virgin is the Loreto Madona (Gospa od Loreta), revered in the region since the 18th century; the statue, preserved in the central St. George (Sv. Juraj) church in Primošten, is said to have protected the town from various disasters.

Ceremonial and table flag of Primošten - Images by Željko Heimer, 20 August 2006
The ceremonial flag (not mentioned in the Decision but shown in the attached drawings) is a blue gonfanon with the fly ending triangulary containing the coat of arms below the name of the municipality. Under the coat of arms are fig and olive branches and a bunch of grapes.
A simplified design of the ceremonial flag is used for table flags. The table flag is nowhere prescribed but it is probably more often seen than the ceremonial flag that is "locked up" in the Assembly Hall.
