Flag of Zemun (since 2013)

In 2013, Zemun reintroduced the 2005-2009 coat of arms. The flag was modified accordingly.

Article 5 of the Municipal Statutes, adopted by the Municipal Assembly on 2013-09-20, states:

The Civic Municipality of Zemun has its coat of arms and its flag. The coat of arms of the Civic Municipality of Zemun has a tetragonal ("French") shield azure; a branched tree vert rises from a trimount vert in the base of the shield; a deer lodged proper and turned toward the tree is on the dexter side; a lion rampant Or holding a saber argent in the raised dexter paw is on the sinister side; a golden mural crown with five merlons is placed above the shield. The supporters are two armoured warriors each holding the shield of arms with one hand and holding a shield gules charged with a cross between four firesteels argent in the other hand. The shield surmounts a blue ribbon with the golden Cyrillic inscription Земун (Zemun). The flag of the Civic Municipality of Zemun is horizontal, with proportions 1:2. The flag is white, charged with the coat of arms of Zemun.

Article 5 of the Municipal Statutes, adopted by the Municipal Assembly on 2019-10-28, states the same. Note that the tree, which shall be blazoned as proper, is now incorrectly blazoned as vert - or, if it is meant to be vert, is now incorrectly depicted as proper.

It was carried by students who marched from Belgrade to Kragujevac in order to join the rally in honor of the Statehood Day (15th February).

The municipal flag of Zemun is in proportion 1:2, horizontally divided blue-green. The flag was adopted in December 2003 and is based on the colours of the municipal coat of arms. The ratio and the simplicity of the flag is unusual for the modern Serbian local flags. However, there is no regulation that would require municipalities in Serbia to follow the square flag model.
