Dobrinj is a community with about 2000 inhabitants on eastern
part Krk island opposing the city of Crikvenica on the coast. The
Coat of Arms of Dobrinj: azure Justitia clead
and blindfoled argent holding in the dexter arm an upright sword
proper and in the sinister golden scales standing on a green
mound.
I am not aware of the historical background for this coat of arms
though I guess that there may be some.
There is little doubt that there is a flag to go with it, but
unfortunately - no info.

I received mail from Robert Grubisa from Rijeka informing me
on the flag. Here is translation sumarized:
Dobrinj - The flag is white with the coat of arms in the middle.
The Coat of Arms is used on various information boards and
similar in the community, but it seems that it is not yet
approved by the Ministry. The flag is apparently not used (yet?).

The decision on adoption of the symbols for Dobrinj was
published in the official gazette more then 5 years after
adoption of the descision, that I suppose may be explained
that the community waited to get the approval from the Ministry
before publishing the decision: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Opcine
Dobrinj, 02.08.1996, Službene novine Primorsko-goranske
županije, br. 20/01, 10. rujna 2001.
The flag is white with the coat of arms bordered golden in the
middle. The vertical flag is in use also (though not mentioned
explicitly in the decision), as proved by photos I received from
Robert Grubisa.
The ceremonial flag is only menitoned in the text of the
decision, but not described, and Robert also sent me photos of
the table flag in use that looks by pattern like a ceremonial
flag: bordered golden, with the coat of arms ornamented with vine
and olive branches and ribbon containing the name of the
community.
