Flag of Plasnica, horizontal and vertical version - Images by Mello Luchtenberg & António Martins, 26 November 2006
See also:
The municipality of Plasnica (in Turkish, Plasnitsa; 4,545 inhabitants; 54.44 sq. km), located in western North Macedonia, is made of the village of Plasnica and the three
settlements of Dvorci, Licičani and Preglovo.
Plasnica is one of the two North Macedonia municipalities with an ethnic
Turkish majority (4,446; 98%), the other being Centar Župa.

The flag elements and colours seem to have been derived from the
municipal coat of arms, whose upper part is charged with a yellow
crescent (symbolizing the Turkish population?) pointing upwards
surmounted by a red star outlined in yellow (therefore similar to the
star of Socialist Yugoslavia and Socialist Macedonia) and placed over a red disk.
The flag is shown as vertical on the Macedonian Ministry of Local
Self-Government website (first version, page no longer online), and as horizontal on the Macedonian Ministry of Local Self-Government website (second version, page no longer online, either).
