The Municipality of Trstenik uses an emblem in the shape of a shield and a flag flown both horizontally and vertically. The emblem is not composed according to the rules of heraldry: it is stylised, pseudo-heraldic insignia in only two colours, blue and white, with motifs taken from socialist emblems and the name of the municipality inscribed. The same composition is found in the centre of the white flag; the vertical flag is flown in front of the municipal building, and the horizontal one stands in the mayor's office.
Blazon
A blue shield with a white border, containing white figures: down the centre an upright wheat stalk with an ear, through which vertical lines pass and which grows from wavy lines at the base; across the stalk, in the lower part of the shield, a white ribbon with the blue inscription “ТРСТЕНИК”, from which on the left rises a vine with a vine leaf and bunch of grapes, bent in an arc over the top, and on the right half a cogwheel.
A white flag with the municipality's emblem in the centre. It is used both horizontally and vertically: the vertical one flies in front of the municipal building, and the horizontal one stands in the mayor's office; on the vertical flag the emblem is in the upper part.
Symbolism and meaning
The wavy lines at the base of the emblem, from which the wheat stalk grows, represent the River West Morava.
