The device of the Municipality of Pelagićevo was adopted on 2 July 1999. It has the form of a medieval shield, but in content recalls emblems of an earlier time.
Blazon
Insignia
A shield divided by a tricolour bar of red, light blue and white: above, on light blue, a rising sun with rays; below, on blue, the tower of an Orthodox church. Above the shield the blue inscription “Пелагићево”.
Symbolism and meaning
The sun refers to the enlightenment work of Vasa Pelagić, after whom the municipality is named, but also to life and natural wealth; the tricolour expresses belonging to the Serbian people.
