Municipal flag of Miklavž na Dravskem polju

The coat of arms and flag of Miklavž na Dravskem polju are prescribed by decision Odlok o grbu in zastavi Občine Miklavž na Dravskem polju, adopted on 1 June 2000 and published in the regional official gazette Medobčinski uradni vestnik, nr 12/2000, 311.
The text and images are available online.

The flag is of the same greenish field as in the coat of arms with the arms set in the middle, always hoisted vertically, in ratio 1:2.

This flag is explicity allowed to be used by the citizens of the municipality, so making it both the civil and government flag. Most of other Slovene municipal flags are by default only to be used by the municipal authorities, that is they are government flags.

The coat of arms of Miklavž na Dravskem polju is a shield divided diagonally in white and greenish blue with waves, two fields symbolizing two elements, the land - Drava field, from the name of the community and the water - river Drava. In the shield there are symbols of the patron St. Nicolas, a crozier (symbolizing guidance), a book (wisdom) and three golden balls (care for those in need).
