![[Flag of President of Croatia]](../images/h/hr-prezi.gif)
by Zeljko Heimer

Blue flag with the presidential coat of arms, border red-white. Coat of arms is a 5x5 red-silver checquered shield (spanish type) surrounded with 5 rhombic shields, 2 left, 2 right and one below. The shields are of:
There are golden and silver fringes hanging from all shields.
Over all there is a red-silver-blue lace with golden letters RH.
The flag is used by the President of the Republic, and is often
seen on the president's car, press conferences, receptions etc.
It is convenient to mention here that this flag and coat of arms,
as also the Croatian national flag and coat of arms were designed
by Miroslav Sutej, an academic painter from Zagreb, in 1990. Of
course, the coat of arms of Croatia, and other coats of arms
enclosed in it are much older, some of them being from the XI
century, and using motives even of pre heraldic origin (see heraldry of Croatia).

I found a B-W photo at http://tomislav.morh.hr/susak/9-8.jpg
which shows the Presidetial car flags

These are page of the Ministry of Defence, and this is the
section in memoriam to late Minister Gojko Susak. The photo you
pointed out is, if I'm not much mistaken, the scene from the 1995
military parade on the stateshood day (30-MAY), and show the
moment what the President (seen from back, in his uniform of the
supreme commander of Croatian Defence Forces) came to the parade
wellcomed by the late Minister.
The car flags are very well visible, the one to the left (of the
car, close to the photographer) is the presidential standard, and
the one on right the national flag.
