The designer of this flag is Željko Heimer. He is also the designer of the flags of the same municipality from 2018, but this variant was not approved by the Ministry of Administration, and a new solution was made, which is used today.

The flag is in proportions 1:2, dark blue with the municipal coat of arms, bordered in white, in the center. Blue symbolizes heaven and faith in God's help, as well as trust in the intercession of the Blessed Virgin and St. Michael, Promina's patron saints.

The coat of arms is "Argent a hat gules in chief a bunch of grapes azure
leaved vert."
The background argent represents the karst region and Mt.
Promina, as well as the spiritual and material resources of valuable people. The
Promina hat, locally called "fes", is the most distinctive symbol of the
tradition and cultural heritage of the Promina region. Although similar headgear
has been used in the wider region, the Promina fes has some characteristic
features. The grapes are a symbol of the centuries-old dedication of generations
of Promina people to agriculture, and also a symbol of all the natural resources
of Promina.
The red and white from the coat of arms together with the blue
field of the flag also make up the Croatian tricolor.

The 2018 coat of arms had a blue crossed silver wavy sword and gold
overhanging a silver ball marked with a red cross, while the flag was red with
the coat of arms in the middle. I never noticed that the flag itself was used,
while the coat of arms was still used during that year.
