Overview

'Zdenac' means a well, more specifically a draw-well, 'zdenci' being the plural form, so thats what's on the Coat of Arms.
Zdenci is a community some 60 km east of Virovitica, with about 2700 inhabitants, some 1100 living in the place of the same name that is the administrative seat of the community.
The coat of arms is azure a watter pouring upward from a stone well all argent.
The community web site at <www.opcina-zdenci.hr> showes the Coat of Arms in form addorned with linden branches, so one may assume that there may be similar ceremonial flag, but we have to find it yet. It is not clear either what the background colour of the normal flag is, in the first place.

Piece of news from Tomislav Šipek: There was a ceremony where the flag was shown on a photo partially obscured. The flag is white with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the middle.
