The arms of Bar were adopted on 15 December 2006. The author is the heraldist Srđan Marlović, who also produced the arms of Podgorica, Kotor and Herceg Novi. The supporters — two gold wolves — draw on the heraldic heritage of the Balšić family, and the motto 1042 on the year of the Battle of Bar.
Blazon
On blue, three pallets — two golden and the middle one green.
A mural crown with three visible merlons.
Two golden wolves.
A gold ribbon with a blue reverse and the number “1042”; beneath it two joined olive branches.
Symbolism and meaning
The blue field is the Adriatic Sea and Lake Skadar, between which the municipality of Bar lies; the gold stripes are the settlements of the Skadar and Adriatic basins, and the green the mountain massif that separates them.
