The flag of Slovenska Bistrica (29,688 inhabitants) must be one of the oldest Slovenian local flags still in use unchanged, or at least without a new legal document which would redefine it.
The coat of arms and flag were prescribed by decision Odlok o grbu in zastavi občine Slovenska Bistrica, adopted on 27 June 1984, and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije 23/1984 on 13 July 1984, with effect on 20 July 1984.
The flag is rectangular, in proportion 1:2, horizontally divided white-red with the coat of arms in the middle. The coat of arms is always upright (i.e., there is a different vertical banner).
