The flag ans arms of Vueznica are prescribed by Decision Odlok o grbu Občine Vuzenica, published in the official local gazette Medobčinski uradni vestnik štajerske in Koroške regije, 8/2002.
Roger Gogala [gog02] shows the flag as hoisted vertically, in proportion 2:1, yellow with the municipal coat of arms in the base above the name of the municipality.

Coat of arms of Vuzenica - Image by Željko Heimer, 10 April 2002
The coat of arms of Vuzenica is:
Or atop an embattled city with doorway an embattled tower toped with a small roofed tower from which is hoisted a flag all argent.
This coat of arms was in use before the 1990s, and I
have seen in (uncoloured, though) in the late 1980s. At that time
Vuzenica had no municipal status, and that was the coat of arms of
the small town that now forms the core of the municipality.
Stanič [stj05] shows the coat of arms from Pirchegger (1954) and Laszowsky (1934) books,
in the first book having a green background in the other a blue background with a somewhat
different artistic representation of the tower, but basically the
same elements are present and recognizable. None of the two books show the small tower with the flag.
