Municipalities:
Most of thecounties of Croatia (but not all of them) are named
with two parts, one being the name of the capital and the other
the name of the wider region. The capital of Brodsko-posavska
zupanija is Slavonski Brod (by the way, Bosanski Brod is on
the other bank of the Sava river in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and
there are several "Brods" in Czeck Republic and
Slovakia). Posavina means the region around Sava, and that, of
course, is a region larger than the county itself.
The flag is blue with two white diagonal stripes from upper hoist
to lower fly. In the middle there is the arms of county: Azure,
wavy bar Argent, over it seven mullets Or 4-3, and under a marten
Argent.
The image is based on the flag seen on TV news.

The flag that I posted earlier contained two mayor errors,
maybe not so unusual regarding that it was based only on quick TV
snaps. The erros were the number of stars (should be 5 in total,
not 7) and the colour of the running marten (should be yellow,
not white). The new image of the CoA (and eventually new flag
image) is based on the picture of the CoA from just few days ago
issued 2nd book of the Croatian encyclopedia (Hrvatska
encikopedija, LZ Miroslav Krleza, Zagreb, 1999-, sv. 2: Be-Da). I
still have no info on adoption date of these symbols, or on the
legal documents regarding it. My esimate is that they are adopted
around 1995. (I believe I've seen the flag in use (on TV) in 1996
or so, but I have no notes on that).
