Flag of Poreč

The symbols of Poreč (municipal website) are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi općine i grada Poreča, adopted on 28 March 1991 by the Municipality Assembly and published in the official gazette Službeni glasnik, no. 3.
The symbols were approved by the Ministry of Administration.

The flag (photo) in proportions 2:1, vertically divided red and white. In the centre of the top square is the coat of arms. The central point of the coat of arms matches the crossing point of the diagonals of the top square. The width of the shield is 2/8 of the flag's width, the distance from the left and right edges is 3/8 of the flag's width. The coat of arms is set vertically to the shorter edge of the flag. When hoisted the longer edge of the flag is always set vertically to the base.

The ceremonial flag, to be displayed only in ceremonial occasions, is edged with a thin golden border with a golden fringe along the bottom horizontal edge. The flag is made of shiny material and is hoisted vertically from a special staff.

The Town official gazette and the town's magazine Porečki vjesnik use a somewhat different artistic rendition of the coat of arms, probably used on flags and in other occasions as well.
