Kloštar Podravski, community of about 5800 inhabitants
about 30 km SE from Koprivnica and about 5 km SE of
Šurdevac (down the river Drava). The coat of arms image is shown
on the primary school site while the coat of arms and flag are
described in the 2001 statutes issued in the official gazette
(available on -line at <www.glasila.hr>):
Statut Opcine Kloštar Podravski, 20. rujna 2001.
Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko-križevacke županije,
br. 11/01, god. IX, 5. listopada 2001.
The coat of arms showes in a blue shield silver representation of
the Holly Familly fleing to Egypt with golden stars as halos. It
is said in the Statutes that this is the historical coat of arms
of Kloštar Podravski, though more details are not provided.
The flag is blue with yellow bordered coat of arms in the middle.
On a side note, the compositon has a certain "European"
feeling, I guess due to the yellow stars in blue. I don't think
that this was particularly intentional.

The Ministry of Administration approved the design on 18 April
1996. The design is made by Šuka Domovic, as I learned from
conversation with Koprivnica Museum curator, after almost
identical original idea and design submited to the concourse by
Draženka Jalšic Ernecic.
It is claimed in the Statutes that this is the historical coat of
arms of Kloštar Podravski, but there is no support for his
claim and Dražen Ernecic confirmed that this is a new
devised symbol.
I believe that the word "historical" got in the text of
the Statutes as the community was copying wording from some other
community statutes used as template. It just happened that the
"template" community indeed had a historical pattern to
look after. As this is just a speculation, I wouldn't go that far
as to speculate which one that may have been.

community fully referenced in last February, private
communication with Držen Ernecic, April 2003.
