Presentation of Struga

Struga (35,509 inhabitants) is one of the two large cities by the lake of Ohrid, the other one being Ohrid. Struga seems to be one of the centers of immigration from more rural regions. Struga is also a popular summer resort for Macedonians, and tourism is an important industry. The nearby international airport helps this further.
Struga is also strongly divided between the Albanian and Macedonian communities, that both have about half of the population (1981: Macedonians, 53%; Albanians, 41%).

Municipal flag of Struga

The municipal flag of Struga is vertical, in proportion 2:1, blue with the municipal emblem in the middle.
The emblem looks like a convex brass shield. In the middle of the shield is a landscape flanked by two spikes. The landscape pictures the bridge over the mouth of the river Crni Drim, where it enters the lake of Ohrid (flowing from the base of the shield into the lake placed above).
