The City Municipality of Lazarevac uses arms in three levels — basic, middle and greater — and a square banner. The insignia were produced by the Serbian Heraldry Society “White Eagle”, and the author is Dragomir Acović; they are described in the Statute of the City Municipality of 2008. At the centre of the shield is a small shield with the west front of the ossuary church of Saint Demetrius, and the greater arms have two angels as supporters.
Blazon
On a silver field, between two red lilies (fleurs-de-lis) set in a horizontal row, a red pale through which a silver cross extends from edge to edge, so that the pale appears to be parted; in the centre, over all, a small shield divided into green and black, with the silver west front of the ossuary church of Saint Demetrius.
A golden mural crown with three visible merlons.
Two angels with gold halos and red bands around their foreheads, in long white robes, with red stoles edged with gold crossed on the breast; each holds a purple lance shod with gold, from which flies a banner fringed with gold — the dexter the banner of Belgrade, the sinister the banner of Lazarevac.
A grassy hillock with the blue waves of the Kolubara at its foot.
Beneath the arms a gold ribbon on which the name of the settlement and municipality, “ЛАЗАРЕВАЦ”, is written in Cyrillic; in the middle arms the inscription stands beneath the shield.
The square banner repeats the field of the shield: on white, between two red lilies, a red pale with a white cross from edge to edge, and in the centre the small green and black shield with the white front of the church. It is used in two proportions, 1:1 and 2:1.
Symbolism and meaning
The green and black on the small shield denote coal mining in the Lazarevac area, and the church on it is the ossuary church of Saint Demetrius. The blue waves at the foot of the compartment of the greater arms represent the Kolubara.
