Municipal flag of Šipkovica

The municipal flag of Šipkovica is in proportion 1:2, red with a black device in the middle.
The device is made of one broad vertical stripe and three narrower horizontal stripes equally spaced. The emblem might suggest the initial of the name of the city, the Cyrillic letter Ш, looking like an E rotated 90 degrees.
