Kutina is a city in Sisak-Moslavina County probably most well
know for the petrochemical industry situated there. The coat of
arms is blue with a golden bordered 4x4 red and white chequy
plate rotated 45 degrees surmounted by a silver magpie. In the
crest there is white scarf with golden fringe and two oak leaves.
The flag, is white with the coat of arms in the middle. The table
flag contains the name of the city inscribed under the downward
offset coat of arms. Kutina bears the arms of their medieval
lords Csupor de Monoszlo (C<upor Moslavac<ki), whose most
prominent member was Demetrius II Csupor de Monoszlo, installed
in 1446 for the bishop in Knin. The coat of arms of Csupor family
is known already in 14th century. Until the end of 15th century
the family died out and thier estates were eventually inherited
by Erdödy family that beared their second attribute de Monoszlo.
The magpie is said to symbolize labor towards richness. (Actually
only the shield of Csupors is used with changed crest, but going
into those details would lead us to far. Erdödy family was
important family in many other parts of Croatia (and Hungary),
and their arms are reflected in moders symbols thoughout the
region, just to mentioned Varazdin County and issuant deer from a
wheel)

The previously reported flag is probably a proposal, latter
adopted to conform with the national regulations regarding the
municipal symbols. The coat of arms was with a purpure field,
porbably chnaged since purpure is not among the allowed colours
in regulations for coat of arms. The flag, recorded only
vertically, had red stripe near hoist, which was removed,
presumably to conform the requirement that the civic flags should
be of monocoloured fields.

Regarding the previously used flag in mid-1990's, I have
received new info that corrects it - as I said back then, the
exact design was uncertain. Namely the photo I got from 1998 did
not show the fly (i.e. lower part of a vertical flag).
In the mean time I recevied further photos (Photo from opening of
10th wine exhibition Kutina, 22-27.05.2002, flags used on the
City Assembly Building in Kutina on <www.kutina.hr>.
about the same time.) show the flag red-white-blue, with the
large white stripe.
