vjesnik Brodsko- posavske upanije, br. 3/06, 13.03.2006.
Design: "Heraldik-art" d.o.o. Rijeka.
The coat of arms of Sikirevci is: or an axe
argent handeled maroon bendwise sinistre stuck in a stump issuant
from a base vert. The axe (Croatian: sjekira, locally sikira)
is a reference to the community name.
The flag is green with the coat of arms bordered white in the
middle.
The first one adopts the symbols on 30 March 2004. The second one
is decision on beginning of the adoption process, published at
the same time as the first one for whatever reason. The third one
is determination to order the design from Heraldic-art Rijeka -
this was payed 10736.00 HRK if you wander, including VAT (it
comes to roughly 1500 EUR). Then a decision of 2005 amends the
Statutes to include the description of the coat of arms and the
flag, and the next decision acknowleges the approval from the
central authorities. The approval (rjeenje) of the
Central Office for Administration is also printed in the official
gazette, which is handy and quite unusual otherwise. And finally,
the 2006 Statutes include the description similar to 2005
amendmend but adds a claim that it is the historical coat of arms
of the community, even though it has clearly been devised only in
2004...
eljko Heimer, 17 August 2006
At the web site of the community <www.sikirevci.com>, the
coat of arms and the ceremonial flag are
shown.
The ceremonial flag is a green gonfalon ending triangularly with
golden fringe with the coat of arms bordered white in the middle,
above it golden inscription of the name of the community and
below a wreath of an oak branch and a wheat garb.
Sikirevci is a community in the Slavonski Brod and Posavina
County, some 40 km east of Slavonski Brod,
2,700 inhabtants of which 2,000 in the village of the same name.
The base of the economy is still mostly agriculture. The web site
showes the motto of the village: "Sikirevci selo u dva reda,
izaleka ko Osik izgleda" which is obviously a rime from a
typical folk song of the region and could be translated more or
less so: "Sikirevci a village in two rows, from afar it
looks like Osijek". The two rows refer to the typical rural
organization of houses next to each other along the main road
with economic buildings and fields behind those. Since the
liberation from Turks, the village was seat of the 5th company of
the Brod regiment (so, the seat of military administration of
certain level in the Croatian-Slavonian Military Border).
On the web site of the community there is no photo of the flag in
use, but this may be interesting to mention a photo
of the road sign at the entrance to the community (although
the colouring of the coat of arms differs lightly from the
prescribed one).

Coat of Arms and flag designed by Heraldic Art d.o.o from
Rijeka and approved by the Ministry of Administration/Central
State Office for Administration before 2006.
