Jasenice is a community in the Zadar County, about 40 km
northeast of Zadar, inlands towards
the Velebit mountains from the Novigrad sea, where the new
highway passes by the Stv. Rok tunel under the Mali Alan mountain
top. Just over 1,300 inhabtants, 1,200 of them in the place of
the same name. The place was much destroyed in the bombing and
rocketing from the Velebit possitions held by rebel Serbs in the
1990's war.
Checking the latest official gazettes of the Zadar County at <www.zadarska-zupanija.hr>,
I found some news in the recently adopted statutes of several
municipalities:
Jasenice: Statut Opcine Jasenice, 25.01.2006, Službeni
glasnik Zadarske županije, br. 3/06, 01.02.2006.
The newly adopted statutes include the desription of the Coat of
Arms and the flag that must have been adopted a few years prior
to it, I estimate around 2002. The coat of arms of Jasenice is:
azure Vila Velebita holding in her right hand a degenia flower.
Vila Velebita (the Fay of Velebit) is a mythical patron of
Velebit mountain range and in this coat of arms she is holding a
Velebit endemic flower (degenia velebitica) also found
in the coat of arms of the Lika and Senj
County.
The flag is blue with the golden bordered coat of arms in the
middle and golden inscription of the community name above it.
