The Municipality of Lučani uses an emblem in the shape of a shield with the inscription “ДРАГАЧЕВО” and a landscape drawing, which is not composed according to the rules of heraldry. The appearance and use of the emblem are regulated by the Decision on the Emblem and Day of the Municipality, adopted on 17 March 2000: the emblem is displayed only alongside the state symbols in the bodies of the municipality, others may use it only with the municipality's consent, and it may not serve as a trade or service mark. The same emblem is found in the centre of the blue municipal flag.
Blazon
A shield with a red border, whose top is shaped as the cap of a roadside memorial stone (krajputaš); beneath it is a white field with the inscription “ДРАГАЧЕВО” in black letters. In the lower part yellow and white rays of the sun break out from behind green hills; on the top of one of them a thin aerial can be made out, and between them rises a blue half cogwheel. On the green field are a gold trumpet and beneath it a red geometric ornament of broken lines with a lozenge in the centre.
A blue flag with the emblem of the municipality in the centre.
Symbolism and meaning
According to the decision on the emblem, the insignia represent Dragačevo — its past, present and future. The upper part of the shield has the form of a roadside memorial stone, and the green fields, forests, hills and mountains show the landscape dominated by Ovčar with the aerial of the relay station, a sign of the area's connection with the world. The blue cogwheel above the hills denotes the development of industry and the aspiration to further industrialisation, and the rays breaking out from it as from a sun express hope for a brighter and happier future. The gold trumpet recalls the great trumpet competition, and the red folk pattern the handiwork of the weavers of Dragačevo, for which the area is known at home and abroad.
