Flag Description: The flag consists of a sinister diagonal (bend sinister) blue stripe with a width of one-third of the flag's length, dividing the field into an upper hoist-side white triangle and a lower fly-side green triangle. The aspect ratio is 2:3.
Symbolism: The colors of the flag are derived from the municipal coat of arms, which originates from a 1569 seal depicting a young vintner. The white represents the silver field of the shield, the green stands for the vine leaf and the fertile rural landscape of the Moravian Slovakia region, and the diagonal blue stripe symbolizes both the bunch of blue grapes and the local Okluky stream.
