Overview

The community of Molve is about 15 km SE of Koprivnica with about 2,000 inhabitants. The coat of arms and the flag are described in the statutes of 2001 issued in the official gazette (avilable on <www.glasila.hr>):  Statut Opcine Molve, 4. listopada 2001. Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko- križevacke županije, br. 11/01, god. IX, 6. listopada 2001. They must have been adopted somewhat earlier, say about 1997.
The coat of arms of Molve is Azure over a bar argent a millhouse of the same. The official community site at <www.molve.com> showes it with beautifully made Flash animation with the animated mill-wheel.
The flag is blue with white bordered coat of arms in the middle.

Ministry of Administration approved the design on 3 January 1996 (according to [ern03]). It is designed by Vanja Garaj, who latter also designed Novo Virje symbols.
The flag is prescribed blue with white bordered coat of arms in the middle. However, de facto flags is use, shown on 2003 Koprivnica exhibition have the coat of arms without the white border, only black, somewhat bolder line, instead.

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:
Molve: Statut Opcine Molve, 16.01.2006, Službeni glasnik Koprivnicko- križevacke županije, br. 1/06, 26.01.2006.
