The County of Karlovac is situated south west from Zagreb,
around the city of Karlovac, and borders Slovenia to the north
and Bosnia to south. Southern part of the county has been ravaged
by the war and held occupied for more than five years.

The flag and the Coat of Arms were adopted on 27 Febuary 1995,
by "Odluka o grbu i zastavi Zupanije Karlovacke" issued
in "Glasnik Zupanije Karlovacke" nr. 3/95.
The same decision adopted a Ceremonial Flag ,
being a red vertically from a crossbar hoisted banner boredred
golden with gold fringe on the tails. The coat of arms is set in
the middle and the name is inscribed in gold above. There is an
ornament of oak branches in the tails.

The reconstruction is based on several quick glimpses of the
ceremonial flag in the County Mayor's Office on TV reports from
Karlovac. The golden ornaments found in the tails I have made
equal as those in Tounj flag. I am
not sure if they are indeed the same (though apparently it is
still oak ornament and very similar to it if not the same), but
studying other county flags I found out that it is not that
uncommon that subdivisions of a county use the same ornaments in
the ceremonial flags. In any case, if the reconsturction is still
not very precise.
