The municipality of Klakar (2,417 inhabitants in 2001, 290 in the village of Klakar) is located some 10 km east of Slavonski Brod along river Sava.
Klakar was formed in 1993 by the new territorial division, formerly being part of the Town of Slavonski Brod, at first covering a bit more territory: in 1997 two settlements closest to Slavonski Brod, Gornja and Donja Vrba seceded to form the municipality of Gornja Vrba.

The coat of arms (municipal website) is prescribed as "... in a semicircular shield on a silver field standing on a green mount a Croatian border guard, with a black hat with white feathers, a blue uniform, white trousers, black boots, a red cape, holding in his right arm a flint rifle, and in his left arm the handle of a sword hanging from his belt".
The bordering river Sava is also the state border, and has been so for ages; the border guard shown in the coat of arms recounts on this tradition during the period of protection from the Ottoman Empire.
