The community of Lasinja is in the Karlovac County, in it
north-eastern part, some 15 km NE of Karlovac
, counting just under 2,000 inhabitants, with nearly 600 in the
main village of the same name. It occupies the right bank of the
Kupa river (and therefore a number of villages have attribute
"right" - Desno Sredicko, Desni Štefanki... while
many other villages have attribute "Lasinjski" - of
Lasinja). Until 1997 it was administratively part of the
Sisak-Moslavina County.
The Coat of Arms of Lasinja is azure a swallow
volant proper and in base a bar wavy argent. The swallow is
canting the name of the community. The wavy bar signifies the
richness in water resources, especially the Kupa river.
There is probably a flag to go with but until now unknown.
The symbols were designed by the Heralid
Art d.o.o company in Rijeka.

Tomislav Šipek localted the flag on a photo
to be seen very partially behing the central sportsman (the fact
that this is the flag of Lasinja is clear from the article).
The flag is dark blue with the coat of arms bordered yellow in
the middle.

The community
web site pictures the mayor with the ceremonial flag behind
him. It is light blue, apparently in the usual shape of
triangularly ending three-tailed gonflaong of light blue with the
coat of arms in the centre of it. The ornaments in the tails are
not clearly visible (possibly wheat?), nor is the inscribed name
of the community, which is probably also there above.
The new 2009 Statutes
of the community (Statut Opcine Lasinja, 29.06.2009, Glasnik
Karlovacke županije, ?/2009) includes the description of the
coat of arms, the flag and the ceremonial flag in its Article 7,
as we know them. Unfortunately, the description ofthe ceremonial
flag is particularly vague, stating only that it has "edge
ribbons" and "yellow-golden fringe". Its previous
statutes (Glasnik karlovacke županije br.03/2006) probably
already included the same wording.
