Overview

The community Konjšcina (Konjs<c<ina) is in Krapina-Zagorje County. The root of the name means horse (konj), so what's next is not unexpected. The coat of arms is vert a horse head erased argent pierced with an arrow and voulned gules. The flag is green with white bordered coat of arms off-set to hoist. The Coat of Arms is based on several low quality images (probably scans from community letterhead) found on the net long time ago. The flag is based on a report from a visitor of my site. If the flag is used it means that most probably the Coat of Arms and the flag are adopted and approved by the Ministry, but I have no data on that.

The Statutes of the community: Statut Opcine Konjšcina, 28.11.2001, Službeni glasnik Krapinsko- zagorske županije, br. 17/01, 05.12.2001, does not describe the symbols, but includes the reference to the decision adopting them: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Opcine Konjšcina, Službeni glasnik Krapinsko- zagorske županije, br. 24/96 i 3/97 at <www.kr-zag-zupanija.hr>.

From the 2008 issues of the gazettes available from <www.kr-zag-zupanija.hr>:
Konjšcina - Unlike the 2001 Statutes which only mentions the decision on the Coat of Arms and the flag, the 2008 Statutes (Statut Opcine Konjšcina, 06.06.2008, Službeni glasnik Krapinsko-zagorske županije, br. 12/2008, 14.07.2008) now, beside the reference to the 1996 and 1997 decisions provide full description of the symbols:
"Article 10
The community nas a coat of arms and a flag.
The coat of arms is composed of a green coloured shield in which is a white/silver horse head pierced through the neck with an arrow. A few drops of red blood drips from the wound.
The flag is in ratio 1:2, green with black outlined coat of arms in the centre of it.
The contents of the coat of arms and the flag is determined with a special Decision on the coat of arms and the flag of the Community of Konjšcina (Službeni glasnik Krapinsko-zagorske županije, 24/96 and 3/97)."
