Koprivnicki Bregi is a community just few kilometers SE of
Koprivnica with some 3200 inhabitants. The CoA and the flag are

The Ministry approved the design on 25 February 1997. It was
designed by Draženka Jalšic Ernecic, art historian from
Koprivnica and author of some other CoA's in
Koprivnica-Križevci County.
The scallop is called locally Peter's Ear and insite of the name
it is an attribute of St. Roch (Sv. Rok, probbaly most well know
after Italian version St. Rocco), the patron of the community.
The mounts in base cant the name Bregi (literally meaning
'hills').
