elements of charge have more than one meaning: crane means cranes
nesting in nearby Zuvintas reservation, also it symbolizes
caution and vigilance, also it symbolizes the Lithuanian
partisans (including some women) died in battle at
Krosna in 1946; halberd symbolizes St. Matthews, holly
patron of local parish, also it means the fight of Krosna people
against the occupants. Green background means richness of local
nature.
