Summary
About the place: Kelebia is a Hungarian village located in Bács-Kiskun County directly on the border with Serbia. It is primarily known as a major railway border crossing on the line connecting Budapest and Belgrade.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a yellow (gold) field with the municipal coat of arms shifted towards the hoist. Beneath the coat of arms, the black inscription 'KELEBIA' is arched along the bottom of the shield. The coat of arms is a quartered shield: the first (upper hoist) red field displays a golden lion's head and chest facing the hoist; the second (upper fly) blue field contains a golden cross; the third (lower hoist) blue field shows seven golden eight-pointed stars in two rows (four above, three below); and the fourth (lower fly) red field features the same golden lion's head and chest facing the hoist.
Symbolism: The yellow field of the flag symbolizes the sandy landscape and sunshine of the Kiskunság region. The municipal coat of arms reflects local history and heritage: the cross represents Christian faith, the lions symbolize courage and historical nobility associated with the region, and the stars denote local community and spiritual symbolism.
