Ceremonial flag of Buje - Image by Željko Heimer, 3 September 2009
The flag is described in the Town Statutes as red with the coat of arms in the top part of the flag, so that the bottom point of the coat of arms matches the crosspoint of the diagonals. The flag is bordered with a golden edge. The bottom part of the flag is ornamented with rectangular indentations. The width to length ratio is 1:2.
One would assume that this describes the ceremonial flag. Unfortunately, the number and exact shape of the indentations is not mentioned.
