The decisions from the official gazette are the first bit of
information on the Lokve symbols. I believe that it is because
the symbols are apparently not approved by the Ministy of
Administration yet, and are probably not in use. (On a weird side
- the flag is adopted three weeks before the coat of arms, even
if it includes it). The decision is: Odluka o grbu Opcine Lokve,
28.03.1996, Službene novine Županije
primorsko-goranske, br. 8/96, 5. travnja 1996. Odluka o zastavi
Opcine Lokve, 07.03.1996, Službene novine Županije
primorsko-goranske, br. 12/96, 10. svibnja 1996.
The coat of arms is azure, standing on a ground vert St.
Catherine clead white and caped gules crowned and nimbed, holding
a palm leaf in her sinister and a sword in her dexter hand,
behind her in base a semi wheel and in dexter a fir tree.
The flag is light gray with the coat of arms in the middle. The
flag is bordered yellow ("greenish yellow" says text,
whatever that means and looks like!?).
Lokve is a community of somewhat over 1200 inhabitants due
south-east of delnice, som 20 km east of RIjeka on the main
highway to Zagreb. It includes a lake, and the forestry being the
main industry. The production of doors and windows is probably
what makes Lokve most famous outside the region.
