Plzen region flag

Plzen Region - the regional assembly has approved the symbols (Dec 11) and sent them to the parliamentary subcommittee. It discussed and approved the Plzen Region CoA and flag in its meeting next day (Dec 12). The CoA and flag are quartered: upper hoist is red with Bohemian lion; upper fly is green with a yellow camel (with red tongue); lower hoist is green with two horizontal stripes, white and yellow (they represent the most important west Bohemian rivers, Berounka and Otava Rivers; lower fly is red with white Romanesque church from the city of Stary Plzenec, with a yellow cross on the top of its tower. See FOTW - it is proposal # 2 with the church depicted according to proposal #1 (i.e. asymmetrical). No correct image so far.
