The City of Pančevo uses its traditional arms, in a lesser and a middle form, and a flag. On a Renaissance shield is a fortress with two towers and a knight in the open gate, raised above waves, and the shield is surmounted by a silver mural crown with five towers. The appearance and use of the arms and flag were regulated by the then Municipality of Pančevo by a decision of 19 May 2006. Unlike most Serbian city and municipal flags, the flag of Pančevo is not a banner but a white flag with the arms in the centre.
Blazon
A Renaissance shield with a red chief and a blue base containing two silver wavy bars; across the middle a silver masonry wall with crenellations, from which two silver towers rise into the red field, and in the open arched gate stands a knight in armour with a lance (in the drawing in the form of a halberd) and a sword.
A silver mural crown with five towers.
A white flag with the arms of the city in the centre.
Symbolism and meaning
The fortress with wall and towers, raised above the waves, recalls the strategic position of the former Pančevo fortress on the River Tamiš. The two wavy bars at the base of the shield represent the Danube and the Tamiš, in whose basin the city arose.
