Overview

Zlatar-Bistrica is a community in the Krapina-Zagorje County, some 20 km north of Zagreb and about 20 km southeast of Krapina, just south of the city of Zlatar. Population about 2,600, some 1,500 in the main village - the name sake of the community.
The coat of arms that must have been adopted in mid 1990's is Vert a turkey or standing on a four-spoked wheel sable issuant from a bar wavy argent. The wavy line rperesents Krapina river and the wheen probably stands for the mills that were built over it. Turkey is a typical argicultural product of the region and a traditional sunday meal.
The flag is light blue with a yellow bordered coat of arms in the middle.
Information thanks to Tomislav Šipek, according to magazine Turist plus, June 2003. and also my observation in Zlatar-Bistrica (road signs and similar), 2002.
