October 30, 2003 (resolution # 89/XVI/03).
"Arms: on the light-blue Spanish-style shield head of the white eagle
turned to the right with golden beak and the gold crown topped with the

Similar mace was previously a symbol of the Grand Hetman of the Commonwealth
of Both Nations (Poland and Lithuania).
The white eagle's head comes from the 1919 Coat of Arms of Poland.
Light-blue color of the shield reflects the color of Marshal Piłsudski's
dress uniform.
Flag: a rectangle in the ratio 5:8 composed of two wide light-blue bands
separated by two narrow stripes: white and yellow.
All dimensions given in the proof of the flag.
