Drniš (Drnis^), Šibenik-Knin County - I saw the flag
of the city flag on the TV news today. It is red with golden
bordered Coat of Arms in the middle. Coat of Arms is semicircular
(as the national Coat of Arms) white
(silver) with a shepard clead red holding a staff leading a few
sheeps proper. Possibly the shepart is representation of some
saint.
The ceremonial flag is a red vertical banner with three
rectangular tails ending in triangles. In the tails there is an
ornament made of two vine branches with two grapes (one
"pointing" up and the other down). The whole banner is
boredred golden with fringe.

Drniš is a city in the Šibenik-Knin County, some 20
km inlands (i.e. northeast) of Šibenik, about 15,000
inhabitants, about a third in the city itself.
The symbols were adopted on 14th August 2000 as issued in the
official gazette: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Drniša,
14.08.2000. Službeni vjesnik Šibensko-kninske
županije
The flag and Coat of Arms were seen afterwards
also on Croatian TV 30 November 2001 and at <www.zamirnet.hr>
(20.11.2003).
The coat of arms of Drniš is Argent St. Rocco (also known as
St. Roch, in Croatian Sv. Rok) clead argent and cloaked gules
ensigned with an escalop or pointing to a sore on his leg and
holding a staff with a gourd or and standing by him a dog argent
reguardant holding in jaws a laf or bread or. The charges refer
to the legend on St. Rocco who fed a dog from a sore he made on
his leg.
The flag is red with the coat of arms in the middle.
The Ceremonial Flag is red with the coat of
amrs, the name of the city "GRAD DRNIŠ" above and
the vine and oak ornaments in the trinagularly ending tails.
