The Municipality of Vladičin Han uses a pseudo-heraldic emblem, and the flag, on a silver ground, repeats the emblem in the centre.

Emblem

In the chief of the shield, on a red field, the name of the municipality, “Владичин Хан”. The field below is divided into three parts: at the bottom two waves of the South Morava and the white structure of the Old Bridge; above the bridge, on a green ground, pears and apples; above them a quarter of a blue cogwheel, a symbol of industry, from which a silver sheaf of rays spreads.

Flag

A silver field with the emblem in the centre.

Symbolism and meaning

The motifs of the emblem describe the economic and geographical identity of the municipality: the South Morava and the Old Bridge, fruit growing and the industry that contributed most to the development of Vladičin Han.

Earlier insignia

until 2016Earlier insignia
An emblem identical to the present one, except that in the place of honour on the shield it bore the lesser arms of Serbia — the white double-headed eagle with a shield with four firesteels. Since the rules of heraldry do not permit the use of the state arms in the insignia of local self-government, the emblem was unofficially altered in 2016.
