The regulations on the local flags in Croatia require that a flag of a city or community be of a field of one colour with the coat of arms in the middle or offset towards hoist. Some exceptions from this rule are tolerated for the cities with traditional flag established before these rules were made, while some cities choose to ignore the regulations and use a flag of their liking. It may be that in time the latter exceptions would be replaced.
In 1993, with the new administrative division (re)introducing the county system the kotars were introduced as intermediate level of local self-governing in areas with dense Serb population, as a means to granting them wider self-government. However, due to the aggression and occupation the kotars never lived up, and were dismembered in 1997 reform. In the Sisiak and Moslavina County there was Kotar Glina established, with seat in the same named town, consisting of communities of: Divuša, Donji Kukuruzari, Dvor, Gornji Klasnić, Glina, Gvozdansko, Hrvatska Dubica, Hrvatska Kostajnica, Lasinja, Mečenčani, Topusko, Utolica, Vojnić and Vrginmost. In the 1997 reform some of those are lost, some are included in neighbouring counties and some are promoted to city status. In any case, the Kotar and its communities never functioned, and certainly did not have the symbols.
Except those, in 1997 the communities of Ivanić Grad, Kloštar Ivanić and Križ are excluded from the County and added to Zagreb County (Ivanić Grad was promoted to city status even earlier), while the communities of Vojnić and Lasinja was added to Karlovac County. In 2006 communities of Gornji Klasnić, Jabukovac and Utolica were included into the neighbouring cities.

Vague reconstruction from low quality photos - confirmation required! The coat of arms depicts a church over a green hill and a goose swimming in a dark blue field in the base. The flag is white with an off-set cross formed of a blue lenghtwise stripe and a red crossbar with the coat of arms in the middle of it. In the red fields there is a golden ornament (of unknown details).
These symbols were probably not approved for use by the Central State Office for Administration.
