If the COA on the Olomoucky
kraj website is the adopted one, the future flag should look something
like this.
Pascal Gross, 29 May 2001
I guess 'SPQO' stands for 'Senatus PopulusQue Olomouci' (or something
near it).
Santiago Dotor, 30 May 2001
Yes, you're right. The letters SPQO are an allusion to the tradition
of the Roman origin of Olomouc.

According to Petr Exner, four regional COAs (and BOAs) were discussed
and supported by the parliamentary heraldical-vexillological subcommitee.They
are Karlovy Vary, Pardubice, Zlin, and Olomouc Regions. At present, it
is not clear whether regional symbols will be approved all at once or step-by-step.

Description of the first four flags of the regions of the Czech Republic
that have bee approved by the parliamentary
heraldical-vexillological subcommittee. Note that they are still proposals
(as they have not yet been officially declared by the chairman of the House
of Representatives) and that some details are not clear (some regions sent
to the subcommittee only the proposed COAs and their 'translation' to the
armorial banners is not always unequivocal).
Olomouc Region (Olomoucky kraj): The flag is quartered. The upper hoist
field is blue with a red-white checkered eagle with yellow crown, beak,
and legs. The upper fly field is yellow with a black lion with yellow crown,
red beak and red legs, with a
white perisonium with a central cross and two terminal trefoil. The
lower hoist field is yellow with a blue wavy diagonal stripe ("descending").
The lower fly field is blue with yellow letters S, P, Q, and O (SP above
QO). Ratio 2:3.
