The City of Jagodina uses arms in three levels — lesser, middle and greater — and a banner, produced according to the rules of heraldry by Dragomir Acović of the Serbian Heraldry Society. The insignia are canting: the name of the city derives from the word “jagoda” (strawberry), so the shield and flag show a green strawberry leaf on a red field strewn with gold seeds. The greater arms are completed by a mural crown, two saints as supporters, flags on lances and a ribbon with the years “1399” and “1411”.
Blazon
A red field strewn with gold strawberry seeds, and in the centre a green trefoil strawberry leaf on a stalk.
A golden mural crown of dressed stone with crenellations.
Two saints with gold halos, in long robes and cloaks, one of whom holds keys and the other a scroll. Beside them rise lances with the flag of Serbia and the banner of the city.
A green grassy mound.
A white ribbon with the inscription “ЈАГОДИНА” and the years “1399” and “1411”. In the middle arms the shield is framed by gold vine branches.
The original flag was square, like the banner; a flag in the proportion 2 : 3 is now in use.
A red square flag strewn with gold seeds, with a green strawberry leaf in the centre.
Symbolism and meaning
The flag and arms are canting: the name Jagodina derives from the word jagoda (strawberry), to which the strawberry leaf and seeds on the red field refer.
