During the 20th century, until the 1990s somewhat over 60% of the population were Serbs, but today they represent only some 13%. While the town was mostly Serb populated, Kruševo and a few other villages were Croat populated.

The ceremonial flag (photo) is a blue gonfalon with three triangularly ending tails with golden ornaments (details unknown), with the coat of arms in the centre and the name of the town above.
