Coat of Arms
by Zeljko Heimer, 16 May 2004
See also:
The community of Fojnica is in the Central Bosnia Canton,
south west of Sarajevo. For heraldry Fojnica is well known since
in the Fojnica franciscan monestery was preserved a 15th century
Armorial that is one of the most imporatnt sources for the
medieval heraldry and genealogy of the South-Eastern Europe.
The emblem of Fojnica shows simbolically a yellow fountain
between evergreen wooded mountains, with a wavy line below and
year 1365.
I have no info on the possible flag, and hope for the response of
the webmasters from <www.fojnica.ba>.
The site quotes a name of a decision adopted in the community
assembly in 2001: Zakljucak o davanju saglasnosti za raspisivanje
javnog natjecaja za izradu grba opcine Fojnica, 07.09.2001. This
could be translated as Conclusion on agreement on issuing a
public concourse for the design of the coat of arms of Fojnica.
Weather this Coat of Arms is a result of this concourse, I could
not tell. I suppose that at the same time a flag might have been
adopted (if anything was adopted after 2001 - the site has no
news regarding the assembly sessions after 2001!).
