The community of Donji Kukuruzari is in the Sisak-Moslavina
County, some 30 km south of Sisak.
Just over 2,000 inhabitanst living in 15 villages, around a
hundred per village. The largest one is not the seat of
administration (with 225 inh), but is Donja Velešnja (350
inh). About 20% of population are Serbs. The village of Umetic'
is the birth place of Feldmarshal Svetozar Borojevic' von Bojna,
the highest ranking Croat in the Austrian-Hungaran military, who
was leading the Austrian-Hungaran forces in the World War I on
the Italian front.
The coat of arms of Donji Kukuruzari is: Gules a braided basket
or and in chief two maize ears also or. The maize (Croatian: kukuruz)
is canting. The flag is most probably also adopted, but I have no
info as yet.

On the County web site there is a photo
of the community building flying the flag. The flag is yellow
with the coat of arms in the middle.
