Municipal flag of Kukurečani

The municipal flag of Kukurečani is in proportion 1:2, horizontally divided yellow-red, with the municipal emblem in the middle.
The emblem shows a sun in which cereal spikes replace the rays. There are scrolls above and below the sun.
The emblem might be canting, since the place name is developed from the Macedonian word for maize. The inscription on the scrolls of the emblem reads OPCTINA (Municipality) above and KUKURECANI below.
