Presentation of Glina

The Town of Glina (9,868 inhabitants in 2001, 3,116 in the village of Glina) is located in Banovina (Banija, a hilly region south of Sisak), about 20 km southwest of Sisak. Glina was granted the Town status in 1997.
The city was built as a military fort in the 17th century, defending from the Turks, at the confluence of river Maja into river Glina. The military organized town at the confluence is still visible in the town landscape and is also shown in the coat of arms.

Flag of Glina

The symbols of Glina are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi Općine Glina, adopted on 26 June 1995 by the County Assembly and published on 27 July 1995 in the County official gazette Službeni glasnik Županije Sisačko-moslavačke, No. 7(I).

The flag is described in Article 8 of the Decision, as follows:

The flag of the Municipality of Glina is blue with the coat of arms of the Municipality. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 1:2. In the middle of the flag is the coat of arms of the Municipality, it size being half of the flag's width.

If the flag of the Municipality of Glina is displayed on a table, a stand, above a street or a square in vertical position, the coat of arms rotation is appropriate.

The coat of arms is described in Article 5 of the Decision, as follows:

The coat of arms of the Municipality of Glina is in a shield shape. The shield has a white background, in which the elements of the coat of arms are marked.
The outer perimeter starts with a red ribbon, and next to it there is a white field which is enclosed with a blue ribbon. In the centre of the interspace in the top part is a blue hexagon connected with the side blue ribbon of the inner perimeter. In the centre of the hexagon is a black sign of an object. Under the system of hexagons are regularly arranged 20 small squares (equilateral) in 4 horizontal rows of 5 squares each between which there is a ribbon of white bordering. The small squares are alternatively coloured red and white, the first small square of the first row left being red.

The depicted area (map), c. 1,5 km across, is roughly headed sinister northwards, and very stylized in terms of the actual locations of the rivers, fortress, and built-up areas, and of the exact layout of the town's block grid.

The table flag (photo) is of the same general design as the town flag for vertical hoisting, with the town's name inscribed in white along the bottom. The coat of arms is somewhat larger and somewhat offset towards the top compared with the usual town's flag.
