The City Municipality of Rakovica uses arms in three levels — greater, middle and lesser — and a banner. The arms and the flag in the form of a banner, designed by the Serbian Heraldry Society, were adopted in July 1998. The central motif is the silver chapel of Saint Paraskeva above the Rakovica stream; a white flag with the greater arms is also in use.
Blazon
On a blue field the silver Church of Saint Petka (Paraskeva), masoned black, with arcaded porches and gold doors, beneath a red chief whose lower edge descends in two arcs towards the centre, where a gold cross crosslet stands; at the base of the shield the Rakovica stream, blue with silver edges, across which are two curved silver lines.
A golden mural crown with four visible crenellations.
Two saints with halos, in long robes and cloaks, holding flags — the dexter the flag of Belgrade, the sinister the banner of Rakovica.
An oval ornamental compartment, against which the shield rests and on which the supporters stand.
A white ribbon with the Cyrillic inscription “РАКОВИЦА”, laid across the compartment.
A white flag with the greater arms in the centre.
The square banner repeats the field of the shield: a silver chapel beneath a red chief with a gold cross, and the Rakovica stream at the base.
