Moravosilesian region new proposal

I'm sending description of the flag of the Moravosilesian Region (Czech Republic) that has been approved by the regional assembly on Thursday. Note that prior to formal granting by the Parliament is mere proposal. However, the proposal is good and I believe it'll be approved and granted.The flag is quartered. In the upper hoist there is a Silesian eagle (black with yellow crown, red beak and legs, and white perisonium with a white cross) on yellow field.In the upper fly there is a Moravian eagle (red-white chckered with yellow crown, beak and legs) on blue field.In the lower hoist there is the COA of Ostrava - blue field with a green bottom stripe (ca. 5:1), with a white horse (yellow saddle and red coat, no curb, probably white hoofs) and yellow rose (red center, green leaflets).
The lower fly field is divided vertically into three stripes, white, red and blue(1:1:2). In the blue stripe there is a half of the yellow eagle (looking to the fly) with red beak and tongue and a red leg (no crown!).
The flag ratio is 2:3.
The COA and flag (an armorial banner) were designed by Jan Tejkal.

The white and red stripes stand for the Principality of Opavia.
The yellow eagle on blue is a CoA of the Principality of Tessinum. Note that both principalities' CoAs were included in the great CoA of Czechoslovakia in 1920-1960 (together with CoAs of Bohemia, Slovakia, Subcarpathian Russia, Moravia, Silesia,and
Principality of Hultschin.

I've noticed that the Mello's image of the proposal of a flag of the Moravosilesian Region (Czech Republic) is incorrect: the
yellow half-eagle shouldn't have a crown!

On 23 October 2002 the CoA and flag of the Moravo-Silesian Region have been approved.
