Overview

The community fo Čelić (C<elic/) is a small community in the Tuzla Canton, formed from the parts seceeding from the community of Lopare in 1991 when Lopare joined Srpska (actually at the time Community of Lopare joined the "Srpska autonomna oblast Semberija i Majevica", that was one of the few Srpska autonomna oblasts that formed RS soon afterwards). The Dayton agreement in 1995 confirmed the division with the IEBL (Interentity boundary line - border between RS and FBiH).
The coat of arms of the community is in details described at <www.celic.ba>. Sumarised it says more of less so:
The coat of arms is composed of six elements: fortification as a symbol of defence, honeycomb as a symbol of seduility of the local people, crescent and star as a symbol of Islam and Bosniak people, flower with two rows of twelve patails, symbolising the twelve settlelments composing the community and twelve genocides over the local people though history. Inner rows of petails is red and the outer is green, except for the one petails that is chequy, designating the Croatian population living there. The golden fleur de lys is the statehood symbol, and the rising sun is the symbol of the community reborn.
It may be noted that the diagonal is entirely unmentioned in the description and the list of colours used in the coat of arms are: white, green, purpure red, yellow, golden yellow, honey colour, dark green and brown. (sic!)
The flag is not mentioned.
