The community of Beretinec is some 10 km SW of Varaždin in Varaždin county.
The main settlement, Beretinec has only just above 2,200
inhabitants (1993). The official gazette of the County available
at <www.glasila.hr>
contains the statute of the community: Statut Opcine Beretinec,
9.10.2001, Službeni vjesnik Varaždinske županije,
br. 20/01.
The Statute contain description of the CoA and the flag, and the
site of the County <www.varazdinska-zupanija.hr>
includes the image of the CoA. The coat of arms is "Gules a
Hadgehog Or".
The Statute claims that this is the historical coat of arms of
Beretinec, but even if it provides longish explanation why the
hedgehog was chosen, it does not mention when the coat of arms
was granted/adopted first time and how it was ever used earlier.
The flag is green with the coat of arms in the middle.

This flag is similar to the one of Coudekerque Branche, in
North France, French-Flandre zone, that is green with a black
Hadgehog in the center.
