One of the oldest historical source for flag examination is
map. In monography of Historical Institute in Belgrade
"Monumenta Cartographica Jugoslaviae II" Narodna
knjiga, Belgrade 1979. author Gordana Tomovic compares different
XVIth century naval maps of Balkan peninsula. She notices flags
above some place names on map preserved in 'Bibliotheque National
in Paris (Departement des cartes et plans)' made on pergament by
Angelino Dulcert (1339a.d.):
"14. Flag above town of Neretva (Drijeva, Narent) - in
today's Croatia. Colours are not mentioned. This one is possibly
predecessor of today's flag of town of Metkovic,
and Dubrovacko-Neretvanska zupanija in
Croatia. If it is - then the fields are blue and white."
