Overview

At <www.glasila.hr> there is Odluka o odabiru motiva za izradu idejnog rješenja grba i zastave Opcine Sunja, 12. studenog 2002. Službeni vjesnik br. 21/02, 13. studenoga 2002.
The community decided on the symbols and began process for their approval by the Ministry. The adopted proposal for the coat of arms is a rectangular shield shape of light blue background with five white wheels 2:1:2, and the flag of yellow background with the coat of arms in the middle. The ceremonial flag elements are also adopted -  rectangular with four tails, two oak branches beneath the coat of arms and name of the community within a ribbon above it.
Sunja is a community in Sisak-Moslavina County, some 20 km south east from Sisak on the right bank of Sava river - actaully on Sunja river that from that point flows parallely with Sava for an other 20 or so kilometers.

Since the coat of arms in the form as it is described on the ceremonial flag is now shown of the community pages at <www.sunja.hr>, I assume that the design was in the meantime approved and is used now.

The same site mentioned above now includes also a decision "on the criteria for use of the coat of arms and the flag of the Community of Sunja": Odluka o mjerilima za uproabu grba i zastave Opcine Sunja, 18. svibnja 2004, Službeni vjesnik br. 18/04, 19. svibnja 2004. The decision include the description of the coat of arms and the flag (same as 2002 decision), but not of the ceremonial flag (which is not unusual). Among other things that are interesting to us are the final determinations where among others is invalidated a previous decision on the coat of arms and the flag from 1995, namely: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Opcine Sunja, Službeni vjesnik br. 17/95. This means that before the currents symbols an other set of symbols was used (even if probably not approved by the Ministry of Administration). Unfortunately, for the time being, this remains unknown.
