The arms of Ugljevik were adopted on 27 June 2001, in three levels. They were produced by the Serbian Heraldry Society, in keeping with the rules of modern European heraldry.
Blazon
Divided by a Saint Andrew's cross into four fields: in the first, gold, a red winged bull with a halo; in the second, green, an oak branch; in the third, green, a plum branch; in the fourth, black, two crossed silver miners' hammers.
A silver mural crown without a parapet; in the middle arms the shield between oak and plum branches, with the name “Угљевик” at the foot.
On the dexter Filip Višnjić in the folk costume of the area, with a gusle and the flag of Srpska, on the sinister a miner in dress uniform, with a sledgehammer and the flag of Ugljevik; on a grassy base with a rocky hill and a stylised mine entrance.
A white flag with a blue wavy bar accompanied by three black lozenges — the sign for coal.
Symbolism and meaning
The winged bull is the symbol of the holy Evangelist Luke, whose relics rested at Teočak; the oak and plum speak of forests and fruit growing, and the green and black field with the hammers of the miners' flag and of coal (“ugalj”), from which the place took its name.
