Petlovac is a community of some 5000 inhabitants in south-west
corner of Baranja, some 30 km east of Osijek. It is a relatively
large community by terriroy, which is seen also from the fact
that only about 1,000 inhabitants live in the main village
landing its name to the community.
On HTV news was shown on 2.11.2003 what is presumably a flag of
the community, on a celebration on he occasion of uncovering of a
monument in Baranjsko Petrovo Selo. Unfortunately the sightings
was far to brief to have any ore detailed info, but this: the
flag in ratio 1:2 contains a yellow wide Scandinavian cross
(width approximately 1/3 of hoist, forming square fields next to
the hoist), the fields formed by the cross are each in its own
colour - I have noted them to be (clockwise from canton) red,
blue, green and black, though I am far from sure on that order.
In the center of the cross is a black rooster (canting the
community name) standing on two wavy lines apparently along the
entire horisontal bar of the cross.
A nice flag, different from the boring monocoloures, though that
may well be the reason why it may be only _de facto_ and not
confirmed by the Ministry. We'll have to wait for more info...
