Overview

The Coat of Arms of Sv. Petar u Šumi is azure two keys or in saltire wards down and outward and in a border or a wattle maron. There is no doubt that the key here stand for St. Peter the patron and namesake of the community.
The Statutes of the community describing the Coat of Arms and the flag in the article 5: Statut Opcine Sveti Petar u Šumi, 8. 2. 2006, Službene novine Grada Pazina i Opcina Cerovlje, Gracišce, Lupoglav, Karojba, Motvun, Sv. Petar u Šumi i Tinjan, br. ?/2006.
There is also a tourist leaflet ("Sveti Petar u Šumi", brošura, Opcina Sv. Petar u Šumi, 2008) containing a nice picture of the Coat of Arms on page 28.
The flag is described in the Statutes, but I have found not picture or photo to confirm it, so this is a reconstruction from the descripton. It is a vertical flag of 1:2 ratio coloured "orange yellow". The Coat of Arms is set in the middle so that it top matches the mid-line of the length, and it is encircle with a semi-circular yellow inscription of the name of the community: OPCINA SVETI PETAR U ŠUMI.
