Cabar (C<abar) is a city with somewhat more then 5000
inhabitants some 30 km. due north of Rijeka in Gorski Kotar on
the border with Slovenia (around the point where Croatia forms a
wedge into Slovenia north of Rijeka).
The coat of arms is: Vert a bar argent in chief a fortified city
of the same and in base a buck's head erased or.
The flag is unknown to me. Both must have been adopted around
1995.

I received mail from Robert Grubisa from Rijeka informing me
on the flag. Here is translation sumarized:
Cabar - The flag is dark green with the coat of arms in the
middle. Information based on an article in Novi List newspapers.
Zeljko Heimer, 6 July 2003
The decision on the coat of arms and the flag was issued in
the official gazette: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Cabra,
31.03.1995, Slubene novine upanije
primorsko-goranske, br. 20/95, 09. listopada 1995.
The description of both coat of arms and the flag differs
slightly from what is reported in use and what other soruces
have. The coat of arms is different since the white bar is
described to be wavy (is appears that stright bar is used, and
certainly [osg02] showes it such).
The flag is indeed described as green with the coat of arms in
the middle, but it also is prescribed that the inscription
"Grad Cabar" should be below the Coat of
Arms in golden letters. One may also note that the decrption
(blazon) of the coat of arms is written very confuzigly (as if
those how edited text from printing had no idea what he is doing,
and probably he did not).
I suspect that the Ministry might have "rectified" the
bar in the coat of arms as well as removed the inscription from
the flag, but until today no new decision not ammendmends to the
old were issued in the official gazette. This leaves things open
here for new research. Adoption date for the flag, is then
tentatively 31.03.1995.
