Presentation of Dugo Selo

The town of Dugo Selo (lit., "Long Village") is located some 20 km due east from Zagreb. Its Town status, granted in former Yugoslavia, was downgraded in the 1993 reform to the Municipality status, and reestablished in 1997.

Flag of Dugo Selo

The symbols of Dugo Selo are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Dugog Sela, published in 1998 in the town official gazette Službeni glasnik Grada Dugog Sela, No. 5.
The Decision was superseded by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Dugog Sela (text), adopted by the Town Assembly on 30 October 2007 and published on 20 November 2007 in Službeni glasnik Grada Dugug Sela, No. 9. The new Decision did not differ much in the determination of the coat of arms and included a regulation on the procedure and other details of granting the right to use the town coat of arms and flag to various institutions.

The flag (photo in Dugoselska kronika, No. 450, 2004) is blue with the coat of arms, bordered golden, in the middle, in agreement with the regulation requiring a monocolored flag for towns and municipalities.
