Čelić

Flag unknown.

The coat of arms is composed of six elements: fortification as a symbol of defence, honeycomb as a symbol of sedulity of the local people, crescent and star as a symbol of Islam and Bosniak people, flower with two rows of twelve petals, symbolising the twelve settlements composing the community and twelve genocides over the local people though history. The inner row of petals is red and the outer is green, except for the one petal that is chequy, designating the Croatian population living there. The golden fleur-de-lis is the statehood symbol, and the rising sun is the symbol of the community reborn.
