Overview

For a small community of some 4,400 inhabitants (1993) some 30 km east of Varaždin, about 3 km due north of Ludbreg, Sveti Đurđ (Sv. Djurdj) one may almost guess the symbols. The county web site <www.varazdinska-zupanija.hr> does not show the Coat of Arms nor the flag, but the statutes in the official gazette available at <www.glasila.hr> describes them: Statut Opcine Sveti Đurđ, 5.10.2001, Službeni vjesnik Varaždniske županije, br. 20/01. The coat of arms showes the saint parton, St. George on a horse slaying the dragon. The flag is light blue with the coat of arms in the middle.

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