Overview

Breznički Hum is a community in the souther end of the Varaždin County, on the main road leading from Zagreb to Varaždin (or if you preffer on the road Rijeka- Zagreb-Budapest-Minsk). The population is about 1,700. In the 1992 regulation the name of the community is given as Hum Breznički, but in 1997 it was reversed.   The ceremonial flag is shown on the web site of a flag manufacturer Valentino from Beletinec (not far from Hum) at <www.zastave.com> from which the Coat of Arms and the "normal" flag may be concluded with reasonable certainity.   The Coat of Arms of Breznički Hum is azure a water pump argent and a post horn or in chief.   I think that the posthorn may refer to the importance of the place for trafic.   The flag is blue with the golden bordered coat of arms in the middle. The Ceremonial Flag is a blue gonflaon with three trinagularly ending tails and with golden fring along bottom, the coat of arms in the middle, the name of the community above in two arches and linden branches ornament below in the tails.

The statutes of Breznicki Hum adopted recently include the full description of the flag and the Coat of Arms where before only statement about their possible adoption was in 2001 statutes: Statut Opcine Breznicki Hum, 7.02.2006, Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije, br. 3/2006, 08.02.2006.

The symbols were adopted on 20 December 2001 with the decision: Odluka o opisu i uporabi grba i zastave Opcine Breznicki Hum, 20.12.2001, Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije, br. 29/2001, 21.12.2001. available on <www.glasila.hr>.
The decision describes only the Coat of Arms and the flag, not the ceremonial flag (which is not unusual for Croatian local symbols legislation).

The new 2009 Statutes repeats word for word Article 5 from the previous 2006 Statutes describing the Coat of Arms and the flag: Statut Opcine Breznicki Hum, 10.07.2009, Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije, br. 27/2009, 11.08.2009.
