This flag might also have an horizontal version red-over-yellow-over-blue. The colours probably originate from the emblem of the town.

The small town of Mešeišta (2,918 inhabitants in 1994) was incorporated into the municipality of Debarca in 2004.

The flag of Mešeišta (2,918 inhabitants) is vertical, in proportion 2:1 (vertical). The charge in the central blue field of the flag recalls a nerve cell or a specific kind of cell called asterocyte, but its real meaning is surely totally different.
