Bibinje is a community in the Zadar County on coast due south
of Zadar, with some 3,700 inhabitants. as I mentioned about Sukosan, the community together with
neighbouring Sukošan maintains and a large yachting port,
that makes it most reknown of.
As shown on Turisticka
zajednica opcine Bibinje site and with info from Tomislav
Šipek's personal observation, the coat of arms of Bibinje is
Azure a staff or with a bag argent ensigned with escallop also or
between a sabre argent handeled or and a cross also or.
The flag is light blue with the coat of arms bordered yellow in
the middle.
The style of the Hraldik-art d.o.o. of Rijeka is more then
obvious, so we could expect a ceremonial flag, too. I estimate
that it was adopted around 1998.

In the latest number of the political magazine Globus (Globus
- nacionalni tjednik, br. 737, Zagreb, 21. 01. 2005), there is a
flag-unrelated article "Sanader pokorava Zadar"
illustrated among others with a photo of the mayor of the
community of Bibinje, Nino Šimunic, photographed next to the
ceremonial flag of the community. The ceremonial flag is a light
blue gonfalon bordered golden with the coat of arms in the
middle, the name of the community above in two arhces and
branches of fig and olive beneath. The source does not show the
bottom part, image is an assumed reconstruction - particularly
considering the form of the tail and the bunch of grapes: with
this last compare the flag of Primosten
- it would not be the first example of ceremonial flags of
various communities using exactly the same patterns. Hopefully,
sooner or letter someone shall be able to confirm or deny this
choice of mine.

The symbols were designed by the Heraldic
Art d.o.o. from Rijeka.

The new
community Statutes (Statut Opcine Bibinje, 11.08.2009,
Službeni glasnik Zadarske županije, br. 17/2009,
27.08.2009) only mention that the community "has a coat of
arms and a flag as its symbols. The design and use of those shall
be determined by a particular decision of the Assembly."
Nevertheless, I believe such decision was made (around 1998?) and
certainly the symbols are in use (as can be ass on the web site
<www.opcina-bibinje.com>
and as I have seen in recent years passing through the community
during the summer).
