Flag of Negoslavci

The symbols of Negoslavci are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi Općine Negoslavci, adopted on 15 December 1999 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 30 December 1999 in the County official gazette Službeni vjesnik Vukovarsko-srijemske županije, No. 11.
The symbols are described in the Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Negoslavci, adopted on 18 September 2001 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 22 October 2001 Službeni vjesnik Vukovarsko-srijemske županije, No. 12. This is repeated in the current, consolidated Statutes Statut Općine Negoslavci (pročišćeni tekst), adopted on 17 December 2009 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 31 December 2009 in Službeni vjesnik Vukovarsko-srijemske županije, No. 25 (text).

The flag is described in Article 9 of the Statutes as in proportions 1:2, blue with the coat of arms, bordered yellow, in the middle.

Like in some other municipalities with large Serb population, the Statutes prescribe (Article 8) that the display of "flags, symbols and other national insignia of the Serb national minority" is free as well as their use in ceremonial occasions. In their official use, they have to be used next to the symbols of Croatia. The flag of the Serb minority (this being the simple tricolour red-blue-white) is explicitly prescribed to be permanently hoisted next to the Croatian flag on the municipal hall of Negoslavci.
