Flag of Majur

The symbols of Majur are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi Općine Majur, adopted on 30 November 1988 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 15 December 1998 in the County official gazette Slućbeni vjesnik Sisačko-moslavačke županije, No. 18.
The symbols were approved by the Ministry of Administration on 27 OCtober 1998.
The amendment of the Municipality Status Odluka o izmjenama i dopunama Statuta Općine Majur, adopted on 9 October 2001 by the Municipality Assembly and published in Slućbeni vjesnik Sisačko-moslavačke županije, No. 19, introduced the descripton of the coat of arms and the flag. This was repeated in the next Statutes, Statuta Općine Majur, adopted on 15 February 2002 by the Municipality Assembly and published the same day in Slućbeni vjesnik Sisačko-moslavačke županije, No. 2, and Statuta Općine Majur, adopted on 6 February 2006 by the Municipality Assembly and published the same day Slućbeni vjesnik Sisačko-moslavačke županije, No. 2.
The current Statutes, Statuta Općine Majur, adopted on 15 September 2009 by the Municipality Assembly and published the same day in Slućbeni vjesnik Sisačko-moslavačke županije, No. 35, do not describe the symbols anymore. The municipal authorities have confirmed that the municipality still uses the same symbols and that exclusion of their description from the Statutes was simply a matter of formality, as the legal services deemed it unnecessary to have it described both in the Statutes and a valid Decision.

The flag is in proportions 1:2, red with the coat of arms in the middle, the height of the coat of arms being 1/2 of the flag width.

The ceremonial flag is mentioned to be bordered with a golden fringe. According to Mrs. Kristina Grbeša of the Municipal Administration, the ceremonial flag has not been produced so far, although they hope to have one made soon.

The coat of arms of Majur is: "Or an ant sable".
The aforementioned Decision states that the ant represents "diligence, building and persistence of the inhabitants through long and turbulent history". The ratio of the height to the width of the shield is stated 4:3, but all the depictions of the coat of arms I have seen have the shield shorter, approximately 5:4.
