Overview

The community of Sveti Lovreč (Sv. Lovrec<) is in the Istria County, about 30 km west of Pazin, between the cities of Poreč and Rovinj, inlands from the community of Vrsar, thus having the access to the coast only deeply in the Lim channel. It counts about 1,400 inhabitants.
The Coat of Arms of the community was shown in large scale on their new site at <www.sveti-lovrec.hr> last month, but now the "under construction" page is changed a bit, however, still showing a nice picture of the Coat of Arms. We may hope for mor einfo on the page soon.
The coat of arms of Sv. Lovreč is: auzre a grill or.
This is the attribute of Sait Laurel, the patron and namesake of the community.
The flag is probably also exsistent, but no info for the time being.

Coat of Arms and flag were designed by Heraldic Art d.o.o from Rijeka and approved by the Ministry of Administration/Central State Office for Administration before 2006.

The flag is light blue with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the middle.

Official documents are available at the community web site:
- Statut opcine Sveti Lovrec, 20.04.2007, Službene novine Istarske županije, br. 13/2007, 02.11.2007:
The 2007 Statutes only determines existance of the coat of arms and the flag and how they shall be determined. This may suggest that in 2007 these symbols were not yet adopted (we noted them in use first in early 2008.).
- Statut opcine Sveti Lovrec, 16.07.2009, Službene novine Istarske županije, br. 7/2009, 20.08.2009:
The 2009 Statutes includes now the description of the symbols. The descriptions are rather straightforward: The coat of arms of the Community of Sveti Lovrec is in a heart-shaped - triangular shield in a blue field a golden - yellow grills with the handle upwards. The flag of the Community of Sveti Lovrec is monocoloured, light blue and in the middle of the flag at the crossing point of its diagonals it is set on both sides the coat of arms of the community bordered with golden yellow line. The ratio of the width and length of the flag is 1:2.
