Overview

Kostrena is a small but rich community just south of Rijeka. It seceeded from Rijeka in 1994 (i.e. very soon after the new administrative reform "forget" it). It is heavily industrialized suburb of Rijeka and includes important prosperous ports and shipyards. This is indicated with a ship in the Coat of Arms: Azure a lymphad or with a sail argent and a masthead pennant gules. The flag is blue with golden bordered coat of arms in the middle.
There is also a Ceremonial Flag used, a blue vertical gonfalon with the golden bordered coat of arms in the middle, the name of the community above in two arches and ornamentally wattled strings under the shield.

novine Primorsko-goranske ~upanije, br 25/96, 4. studenoga 1996.
