Overview

The community of Lasinja is in the Karlovac County, in it north-eastern part, some 15 km NE of Karlovac , counting just under 2,000 inhabitants, with nearly 600 in the main village of the same name. It occupies the right bank of the Kupa river (and therefore a number of villages have attribute "right" - Desno Sredicko, Desni Štefanki... while many other villages have attribute "Lasinjski" - of Lasinja). Until 1997 it was administratively part of the Sisak-Moslavina County.
The Coat of Arms of Lasinja is azure a swallow volant proper and in base a bar wavy argent. The swallow is canting the name of the community. The wavy bar signifies the richness in water resources, especially the Kupa river.
There is probably a flag to go with but until now unknown.
The symbols were designed by the Heralid Art d.o.o company in Rijeka.

Tomislav Šipek localted the flag on a photo to be seen very partially behing the central sportsman (the fact that this is the flag of Lasinja is clear from the article).
The flag is dark blue with the coat of arms bordered yellow in the middle.
