Praha 3 flag

Prague Borough Praha 3 finally seems to have approved symbols. On this site you will see that Coat of Arms is very simillar to the rejected proposal - only these three shields are different: instead the St. Wenceslas Eagle there is a Luxembourg Lion (for Emperor Charles IV from Žižkov Arms), a Bohemian Lion (for St. Wenceslas from Vinohrady Arms) and golden chalice on red (for Jan Žižka from the Žižkov Arms). As for Flag - it has 5 horizontal stripes R-W-GR-W-R (1,1,2,1,1). The article is stating, that Chamber of Deputies Chairman Lubomír Zaorálek gave the Decree to the Mayor of Praha 3 (but we don´t know when it was...).
