Overview

For a small community of some 4,400 inhabitants (1993) some 30 km east of Varaždin, about 3 km due north of Ludbreg, Sveti Đurđ (Sv. Djurdj) one may almost guess the symbols. The county web site <www.varazdinska-zupanija.hr> does not show the Coat of Arms nor the flag, but the statutes in the official gazette available at <www.glasila.hr> describes them: Statut Opcine Sveti Đurđ, 5.10.2001, Službeni vjesnik Varaždniske županije, br. 20/01. The coat of arms showes the saint parton, St. George on a horse slaying the dragon. The flag is light blue with the coat of arms in the middle.

Sveti Đurđ (Djurdj) is a community in Varaždin County with some 4,500 inhabtiants. The name, as you may clearly recognize means St. George, and the Coat of Arms is yet an other Coat of Arms showing the famous pose, this time in a blue shield.
The flag is blue with the coat of arms in the middle.
