Overview

Novo Virje is community about 15 km east of Koprivnica and some 5 km NE of Šurdevac. It was established in 1997. The statutes of the community issued in the official gazette (<www.glasila.hr>) describe the coat of arms and the flag: Statut Opcine Novo Virje, 30. rujna 2001. Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko-križevacke županije, br. 11/01, god. IX, Koprivnica, 5. listopada 2001.
The coat of arms of Novo Virje is: Azure a St. Joseph's staff maroon issunat from base from which are issuing three lilies argent. The flag is blue with white bordered coat of arms of Novo Virje.
These symbols must have been adopted after 1998, I guess. The community site at <www.novo-virje.hr> shows the coat of arms.

Ministry of Administrytion approved the design on 17 February 1999. Design by Vanja Garaj.

The official gazette since 2000 is available on the web site of the County at <www.kckzz.hr> including decisions on symbols of its cities and communities. The communities adopted new statutes in 2006, typically containing the descriptions of coat of arms and flags adopted previously, so I just quote them for documetry purposes:
Novo Virje: Statut Opcine Novo Virje, 24.01.2006, Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko- križevacke županije, br. 1/06, 26.01.2006.

The web site at <library.foi.hr> include a project of digitazing of the regional journal Glas Podravine, from its first issues in 1951.
- An article from 1998 report that the community of Novo Virje named a commission for adoption of the coat of arms. Another issue from 1998 include the concourse for the coat of arms and flag of Novo Virje, with prizes of 6000 and 4000 HRK (ca. 800 and 550 EUR).
- An article from 1999 report that nn 30 April 1999 the new coat of arms and flag of Novo Virje was consacrated in the local church.

From the official gazettes:
The description of the coat of arms and the flag is repeated in the new 2009 Statutes equal to the 2006 statutes: Statut Opcine Novo Virje, 03.07.2009, Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko-križevacke županije, br. 10/2009, 16.08.2009. str. 997.
