Presentation of Banovići

Banovići is located in the foothills of the Konjuh mountain. Some of important stećak (standing stone grave monuments) from the 12th century are found in the place called Banović selo, some of them encarved with a fleur-de-lis.
The modern development of the municipality was boosted by the building of the railway Brčko-Banovići, which begun in 1946 and was one of the "monuments of revolutionary work" in the post-war reconstruction and industrialization of the county. The railway was built for export of the high-quality coal extracted in the region.

Coat of arms of Banovići

The coat of arms is of an inverted, semi-circular shield shape, inlcuding various elements of modern graphic design; the black elements probably refer to coal, the rising golden sun is set against a green mountain that must represent Konjuh. The white bordered blue shape should recall the stećak, so should also the golden fleur-de-lis.

The Populari database does not list any municipal symbol that would have been used prior to the 1990s or during the war period. The constitutionality of the current symbol was not disputed.
