Presentation of Jasenovac

The municipality of Jasenovac (2,391 inhabitants in 2001, 780 in the village of Jasenovac) is located at the confluence of river Una into the Sava, about 50 km south-east of Sisak. It has been heavily destroyed during the Serbian occupation in the 1990s, but it is probably most well-known as the site of the largest Ustaša-run concentration camp during the Second World War.

Flag of Jasenovac

The symbols of Jasenovac (municipal website) are prescribed by Decision Odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Općine Jasenovac, published in 1995 in the Municipality official gazette Slućbeni vjesnik Općine Jasenovac, No. 8.
The symbols are described in the current Municipality Status Status Općine Jasenovac, adopted on 26 March 2013 and published on 29 March 2013 in Slućbeni vjesnik Općine Jasenovac, No. 18 (text).

The flag is described in Article 4 of the Statutes as "blue, in its left top corner is the coat of arms of the municipality of Jasenovac. The ratio of width to length of the flag is 1:2."

The coat of arms is described in Article 4 of the Statutes as "in a semi-circular shield shape, red, basically charged with an ash branch coloured white, that is, silver, with five leaves."

The arms are canting since jasen means " an ash-tree".
The coat of arms was designed by Draženka Jalšić, also the designer of the coat of arms of Novigrad Podravski, Kloštar Podravski and Koprivnica (Glas podravine, 25 December 1998).
