Privlakaa is located 30 km north-west of Zadar, along the coast line, at the northernmost point of the large peninsula of Ravni Kotari. It has 2,200 inhabitants, all in the single settlement of the same name. Privlaka (kod Nina) should not to be confused with Privlaka (kod Otoka) in the Vukovar-Srijem County.
The historical traces document presence of the Liburnes here in the pre-Roman times.

The symbols of Privlaka are prescribed in the Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Privlaka, adopted on 27 January 2006 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 1 February 2006 in the County official gazette Službeni glasnik Zadarske županije, No. 3, although they were adopted earlier.
The current Municipality Statutes Statut Općine Privlaka, adopted on 9 July 2009 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 16 July 2009 in Službeni glasnik Zadarske županije, No. 14, do not include the description of the symbols in Article 4, only claiming that the Municipality "has its symbols" and explaining that the Municipality Assembly "shall adopt their description by a Statutory decision." The Mayor informed me that they had noticed the omission in the Statutes, and that they are preparing an amendment to add it, just as it was in the previous Statutes.
The flag is in proportions 1:2, yellow with the coat of arms in the middle.
