The Municipality of Osečina established its symbols — lesser and greater arms and a flag — in July 2011, and their author is Đorđe Stanojević. The arms are oval in form and show the old local church, a river and a traditional spiral ornament; the flag is dark red, in the proportion 1:2, with the arms in the centre. Before 2011 the municipality used that very spiral ornament, gold on a dark red ground, as its symbol.
Blazon
An oval shield: on a dark red field, on a green hill, a small silver church with a tall brown roof surmounted by a cross and a brown arched door, at the foot a blue wavy river; on each side of the church a gold spiral ornament.
A dark red flag in the proportion 1:2 with a narrow yellow border (not a fringe), in the centre the arms in a gold oval frame.
Symbolism and meaning
The small church in the arms is the old little church in Osečina, the wavy band represents the River Jadar, and the spiral ornament is taken from the old abadžija (cloth tailors') shops, as a trace of the local tailoring craft.
