Draganic [Draganic/, c having an "acute" sign]
Community in "Karlovacka zupanija", until 1993 was part
of the Karlovac community, but with the new administartive
division of Croatia it (re)gains the status of community. They
claim (on road signs in the community) that the community was
first established in 1249. Until 1997 the official name was in
plural form "Draganici" [again c with acute].
The coat of arms is blue with a curious charge or in the middle
surrounded by a downponting traingle of the same, an other
misterious charge (snowflake?) argent in dexter and a crescent of
the last in sinster. The photo I have made is particularly
unclear at the point where the "snowflake" is, and it
might be that it is actually an ordinarly mullet, something that
is much more expected here, but it seems in that case that at
least there are "perls" at the top of each point.
I have not seen a flag used in the community, but one could
easily expect that the rule is followed, and the monocoloured
flag is defaced with the CoA in the middle. I'd bet that the
colour used is blue, that seems to be the most popular colour of
the local Croatian flags. However, until some further evidence,
here is only the image of the CoA, based on the photo of the road
sign set in the entrance to the community from Karlovac on the
"Old Karlovac" road (road from Zagreb to Karlovac built
before the highway) photographed on 26 June 2000.
