From the official gazette:
Statutarna odluka o uporabi grbu i zastavi Opcine Pirovac, 10.11.2003, Službeni vjesnik Šibensko-kninske županije, br. 11/03, 15.12.2003. Rješenje o odobrenju grba i zastave Opcini Pirovac, 25.09.2003, Službeni vjesnik Šibensko-kninske županije, br. 11/03, 15.12.2003. Odluka o mjerilima za odobravanje uporabe grba i zastave Opcine Pirovac, 10.11.2003, Službeni vjesnik Šibensko-kninske županije, br. 11/03, 15.12.2003. - This gives further details regarding legislation. The decision includes nice drawings of the Coat of Arms, flag and the ceremonial flag (although the ceremonial flag is not explicitly mentioned in the text of the decision, as we already know this is not at all unusual case).
The act of the Ministry of Justice, Administration and Local Self- Government, kl. UP/I-017-01/98-01/1157,urbr. 514-09-01-03-4, approves the decision. It may be interesting to mention that the acts of Ministry for Ružic and Pirovac are dated on the same day. Presumably these decisions are made in "batches" when the appropriate commission have sessions.
The other decision determines the rules and procedures of the grant of use of the coat of arms and the flag
