Vrbovsko is a city of some 8000 inhabitants some 80 km east of
Rijeka, on the road Zagreb-Rijeka in a valley of Dobra river in
the mountainious region of Gorski Kotar. It was granted civic
status and the coat of arms at the same time in 1785 by Emperor
Joseph II. The grant of arms includes the rich painting of the
CoA within a circular annulet and baroque landscape sceene, but
the main part of the CoA stays the same as today: per fess or an
eagle displayed sable beaked, lagued and membered gules and azure
a bridge between two clifs argent
The modernized CoA was adopted in mid 1990's. Flag must have been
adopted at the same time, too, but I have no info at this moment.
In the administrative refore of 1992/93 Vrbovsko was made a
community, but in 1997 was upgraded to city status

I received mail from Robert Grubisa from Rijeka informing me
on the flag. Here is translation sumarized:
The flag is dark green with the coat of arms in the middle.
Information based on an article in Novi List newspapers.
