The Municipality of Golubac uses insignia in the shape of a shield, in a small and a large form, and a flag; this is a pictorial composition, and not a heraldic coat of arms in the classical sense. On the shield is a fortress with towers above water on which a ship sails, and beside the fortress is shown a small coat of arms with a helm and dragon — the medieval arms of the Lazarević family. The large form is supplemented by a mural crown, two saints as supporters with flags, oak sprigs and a ribbon with the years “1335” and “1859”. As a flag a yellow and blue banner with three white circles is used, almost identical to the flag Požarevac had from 2001 to 2005, on which it was probably modelled; a yellow flag with the arms in the centre is also cited.
Blazon
On a silver field a grey masonry fortress with crenellated towers and a black gate, and in the dexter upper part of the field a small coat of arms with a helm with gold horns, red mantling and a green dragon coiled around a small red shield with a silver eagle. At the foot a blue field with silver wavy stripes, on which is a gold ship with three silver sails.
A golden mural crown.
On the dexter a sainted ruler with a crown and halo, in sumptuous red and gold vestments, with a book bearing a cross; on the sinister a bearded saint with a halo, in a red cloak and with a staff. Beside them on lances are the flag of Serbia and the flag of the municipality.
Oak sprigs with acorns beneath the shield.
A white ribbon with the inscription “1335 ГОЛУБАЦ 1859”.
A yellow flag with the arms in the centre.
A square yellow flag with a blue field in the upper part, bearing three white circles, and a blue vertical stripe nearer the lance joining the upper field.
Symbolism and meaning
Alongside the Golubac Fortress, the shield shows the full medieval arms of the Lazarević family, with the dragon as the badge of the chivalric Order of the Dragon.
