The coat of arms (municipal website) is in a 14th century gothic shield shape, "Per fess azure a calvary cross argent between two branches of madder vert and gules two bars argent".
The calvary cross such as shown in the coat of arms is erected on a mountain near Međugorje. The madder plant (Rubia tinctorum), called in Croatian broc, recalls the ancient name of Čitluk, which is today preserved as the name of the Brotnjo plateau on which the municipality is situated. Madder growing abundantly there was an important medieval textile dye. The red and white stripes are reminiscent to the Croatian arms, "Checky gules and argent".
