The 2009
Statutes (Statut Grada Karlovca, 07.07.2009, Glasnik Grada
Karlovca, 7/2009, 16.07.2009) repeats the description of the coat
of arms and the flag, just as in the 1994 Statutes (so presumably
the same was in the 2001 Statutes), in the Articles 5 and 6.
The Statutes text was repeated with some correction (not
regarding the COA and flag) in gazette
8/2009.
