Overview

The community fo Čelić (C<elic/) is a small community in the Tuzla Canton, formed from the parts seceeding from the community of Lopare in 1991 when Lopare joined Srpska (actually at the time Community of Lopare joined the "Srpska autonomna oblast Semberija i Majevica", that was one of the few SAO's that formed RS soon afterwards). The Dayton agreement in 1995 confirmed the division with the IEBL (Interentity boundary line - border between RS and FBiH).
The coat of arms of the community is in details described at <www.celic.ba>. Sumarised it says more of less so:

Inner rows of petails is red and the outer is green, except for the one petails that is chequy, designating the Croatian population living there. The golden fleur de lys is the statehood symbol, and the rising sun is the symbol of the community reborn.
It may be noted that the blue diagonal is entirely unmentioned in the description, and the blue is not even mentioned in the list of colours used in the coa: white, green, purpure red, yellow, golden yellow, honey colour, dark green and brown. (sic
