Former municipality of Miravci

The town of Miravci (2,779 inhabitants) is located some 20 km north of Gevgelija in the Vardar valley. Miravci, like all other towns in Vardar valley is along the railway (and other important transportation routes) going from north to south, further on to the Aegean sea.
Miravci was incorporated to the municipality of Gevgelija in 2004.

The flag of Miravci is in proportion 1:2, vertically divided yellow-white-blue with the municipal emblem in the middle of the white stripe.
The emblem shows in dexter two acorns on a yellow field and in sinister a man with a sword [looking, for me, like a Macedonian fighter of the Ottoman era]. The basis of the shield is red, with a representation of the railway. The top of the shield has the city name written in yellow on red.
