Fuzine (Fužine) - The coat of arms is red with a
white fess, above it a massoned railway bridge and below an
anvil. Above the shield is the name of the community and below
two indigenous branches. The flag is green with the shield of
arms in the middle. There is also a ceremonial vertical flag in
gonfalon form with the full coat of arms in the middle and
embroderied decorations in tails, but details are unknown.
Adopted: around 1995 (?).

Fuzine is a community of exactly 2,000 inhabitants (1991
census) some 10 km inlands from the Bakar bay (i.e. from Kraljevica) on a railroad
Budapest-Zagreb-Rijeka and on a road leading to Krk.
The flag is green with yellow bordered coat of arms in the
middle. The coat of arms is gules a bar argent in chief a
rail-road bridge on three massoned pillars and in base an anvil
all argent.
The ceremonial flag (details not confirmed) contains
"ceremonial" Coat of Arms ornamented
with two branches and name of the community above the shield.

The community of Fuzine adopted the symbols in 1996 and soon
slightly changed them, probably after a suggestion of the
Ministry of Administration. The two decisions in the official
gazette are:
- Odluka o grbu i zastavi Opcine Fužine, 29.04.1996,
Službene novine Županije primorsko-goranske, br. 12/96,
10. svibnja 1996.
- Odluka o izmjeni Odluke o grbu i zastavi Opcine Fužine,
30.09.1996, Službene novine Županije
primorsko-goranske, br. 23/96, 11. listopada 1996.
The first decision adopted the symbols that are virtually equal
to those used afterwards with only one difference - the
field above the silver bar was green instead of red. So, we have
a coat of arms, a flag and a ceremonial flag, most probably they
were never actually used (See: April 1996 Symbols).
The second decision adopts the current symbols on 30 September
1996, changing the upper field to red. The flag is drak green
with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the middle. The
ceremonial flag is described, but I believe that a reasonable
reconstruction could be made from it, since I received earlier
the "greater (ceremonial) coat of arms" (no such term
is used in the Croatian civic heraldry, but you know what I
mean), from the Community much earlier, as I already reported.
The ceremonial flag is a dark green gonfalon with three tails,
golden bordered and fringed along bottom, with the coat of arms
in the middle, above it the name of the community in arcs and
below two golden branches - beech-tree to the (viewer's) left and
fir-tree to the right.

The Statutes: Statut Opcine Fužine, 20.12.2005,
Službene novine Primorsko goranske- županije, br.
37/05, 23.12.2005, include the description of the coat of
arms, flag and ceremonial flag. The symbolic is also described:
The red filed symbolises the heat of the iron furnaces, the base
of the prosperity of Fužine, the white beam stands for water
power, bridge symbolizes the unity of the citizens while the
anvil again refers to the iron industry.

The symbols were designed by the Heralid
Art d.o.o company in Rijeka.

"Ceremonial Coat of Arms"

This name "Ceremonial Coat of Arms" is not prescibed
as far as I am aware, it is just my convinient term for it.
