The three suspects are charged with harming the reputation of the Republic of Croatia. If found guilty, they face a prison sentence from three months to three years.
On the night between 11 and 12 January, the three men removed the Serb flag from the Town Hall in Sodolovci and drove to the nearby village of Stari Mikanovci where, after drinking in a pub, they burnt the flag in the street.
All the suspects are in their 20s.
