Overview

Community of Popovaca (Popovac<a), Sisak-Moslavina County. The coat of arms might have been adopted around 1999, as it is shown on Opcina Popovaca site <www.popovaca.hr> on 2 December 2002. In blue shield on a green hill a red church with white portal and belfry. On the doors the escutcheon of Erdödy (azure a deer issuant from a wheel) encyrcled with grapes and leaves.
This coat of arms might be based on some historical pattern, and if it is adopted then surely there is a flag to go with it, but at the moment I have no other info.

The coat of arms is of the Pálffy family, lords of Bratislava (or Pressburg (german) or Poszony (hungarian); it is now also the emblem of Bratislava region, on which page Ales Krizan and István Molnár provide more info; the emblem is also used for the Pálffy Museum in Vienna, see <www.palais-palffy.at>.

In the mean time I got info from Tomislav Šipek personal observation on both "normal" and the Vertical Flag. The flag is white with the coat of arms in the middle. The vertical flag is used as the ceremonial flag. It is white with five square tails in the base and is bordered all around with a thin golden border (with fringe?).
