The coat of arms of Zapresic is blazoned quartered Azure and
Argent, a Cross counterchanged. The flag is yellow with the coat
of arms in the middle. According to an unconfirmed story, the
yellow colour of the flag is chosen by the influence of the papal
flags, as the flag was being adopted in the time immediately
following the visit of pope John Paul II to Croatia in 1994.
Zapresic was incorporated into city of Zagreb, as separate
community until 1993, and in 1995 it gains the status of a city.
Adopted: around 1995 (?)

The new 2009 Statutes repeats the description of the coat of
arms and the flag from the 2008 consolidtaed text, which, I
believe includes the same description as its original 2001
Statutes, which in turn probably repeats the previous ones. The
description is: "a blue shield with diagonally inverted
white (silver) cross" - not very precise and hard to guess
that it means actually: quartered azure and argent a cross
overall counterchanged. The flag is described as yellow with the
coat of arms in the centre of it in "hight 1.6:1 to the
length of the shorter side of the flag". If I interpret that
correctly, it means that the height of the coat of arms is 62,5%
of the flag width.
