Benkovac is a city in Zadar County some 15 km inlands
south-east of Zadar. It was given the city status in 1997, before
was a community. During the Serb occupation it was probably the
second biggest city in "Republika Srpska Krajina" (Republic of Serbian Krajina). It was
liberated in 1995.
The on-line copy of the county official gazette at <www.zadarska-zupanija.hr>,
contains a decision on grant of the permition to use the coa of
Benkovac (to the local kick-boxing club): Odluka o davanju
suglasnosti za uporabu grba Grada Benkovca, 19. prosinca 2002.,
Službeni glasnik Zadarske županije, br. 1/2003.
There the original decision on the Coat of Arms and flag from
1999 is reffered to: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Benkovca,
Službeni glasnik Zadarske županije, broj 1/1999;
Unfortunately, at the moment the 1999 issues of the gazette are
not available.

A visitor to FAME,
Tomislav Zečević, sent me a scan of some local document, whose
header include nice image of the coat of arms. The coat of arms
of Benkovac is Azure a semi griffin rampant or issunat from the
base holding in the claws a branch vert with three leaves and a
lily flower argent.

Tomislav Zečević reported also a photo of the flag at <www.benkovac.com>.
The flag is blue with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the
middle.

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

The large drawing of the coat of arms and the flag on the city web
site nable a good redrawing of the symbols I provided earlier
and in addition the ceremonial flag. The ceremonial
flag is a blue gonfalon ending trianguarly with golden
fringe, the coat of arms in the middle, the name of the city
above in two arches and oak and vine branches below.

magazine "Benkovacki list",
br. 1, god. 1, prosinac 2008. Turisticka zajednica Grada
