Checking the latest issues of the official gazette of the
Brodsko- posavska County at <www.bpz.hr>,
and there are some news from the communities there:
Klakar: Statut opcine Klakar, 31.01.2006, Službeni vjesnik
Brodsko-posavske županije, br. 1/06, 14.02.2006. The
statutes include the description of the coat of arms and the flag
that must have been adopted a few years back. The coat of arms of
Klakar is: argent on a mount vert a Croatian border guard
stantant with a cap sable feathered argent, jacket azure,
trousers argent, boots sable, caped gules and holding in his
hight hand a flint gun and with his left hand on a handle of a
sabre hanging around his waist. The flag is red with the golden
bordered coat of arms in the middle.

Tomislav Šipek pointed me out to the new web site of the Klakar
community where the coat of arms is shown: From there I
prepare drawings of the coat of arms and the flag, but the figure
of the guardsman I use tehrefrom.
Klakar is a community in the Slavonski Brod and Posavina County,
some 10 km east of Slavonski Brod
along the Sava River. About 2,500 inhabitants, although the
community center counts only about 300. It was formed in 1993 by
the new teritorial division (formerly being part of Slavonski
Brod community), at first covering a bit more territory, but in
1997 two setlements closest to Sl. Bord (G. and D. Vrba) seceeded
to form community of Gornja Vrba. The bordering river of Sava is
also the state border, and has been so for ages - the frontier
guardsman shown in the coat of arms recounts on this tradition
during the period of protection from the Ottoman Empire.
