Presentation of the municipality

Beltinci is a community in Prekmurje (north-eastern edge of Slovenia), world-wide probably best known, at least to stamp collectors, as the place where one of the 1918 provisionals were overprinted by the Serb occupation forces on the Hungarian stamps. Today there is also a significant Roma minority living there.

Description of the flag

.The flag and coat of arms of Beltinci are prescribed by the decision Odlok o uporabi grba in zastave Obcine Beltinci, adopted on 13 February 2003, and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije, 46/2003. The decision is also available of the municipal website.

The flag is horizontally divided blue-yellow with the coat of arms set near the hoist. The coat of arms is vertically in the middle of the flag and horizontally offset to the hoist so that the distance from the hoist to the coat of arms is the same as the width of the coat of arms.
