Presentation of Ljubljana

Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, was before 1995 divided into the communities of Bezigrad, Center, Moste-Polje, Siska and Vic-Rudnik, though the city had minor administrative status. In 1995 (or 1994), the communities were re-united into the municipality of Ljubljana, which was given in 1996 (?) the status of civic municipality.

Municipal flag of Ljubljana

The coat of arms and flag of Ljubljana are prescribed in decision Odlok o uporabi grba, zastave in imena Mestne občine Ljubljana, adopted on 2 April 1996 and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije, nr. 35, pp. 3004-6, 5 July 1996, effective on 19 July 1996. The decision determines the graphical and other standards for the coat of arms and the flag, the description and basic layout being defined in the Statute of the Civic Municipality of Ljubljana. Annexes to the decision are the construction sheets, color specification and descriptions.

The symbols were designed by Valt Jurečič of
