A local committee is estabished for a single settlement, for several interconnected smaller settlements or for a part of a larger settlement, i.e. a city, which makes a separate delimited unit (part of a settlement) in regard to the other parts. City quarters or municipal districts may be established in the cities as special form of local self-governemnt. The local committees, the city quarters and the municipal districts are legal persons. The Law does not provide for the adoption of coats of arms or flags for these forms of seolf-governmnet, but it does not forbid it either. Some local committees, city quarters and municipal districts have adopted or use their symbols. These symbols are not regulated by the law or the regulations and are not subject to the procedure of approval by the central state government bodies.
