Sokolovac is community of about just less then 6,000
inhabitants, some 10 km SE fo Koprivnica,
on the main road leading from Zagreb.
As such, I have seen the flag hoisted on the community building
number of times I passed on the road in 1998 when I was conscript
in Koprivnica and on many occasions afterwards I was driving
there. However, most of the times the flag was so wrapped around
the pole that I could only note that it is green.
The Ministry of Administration apporved the design on 24 April
1996 (according to [ern03]). I
have not found local legislation adoption of defining the flag
(surely only because it is not available on line, and I was not
searching in appropriate libraries). The design was made by
Marijan Špoljar, dr. Zorko Markovic, Romano Baricevic. I
suspect that these gentlemen were, at the time of adoption,
members of community assembly or some such.
The coat of arms of Sokolovac is canting: azure a hawk argent
stantant on a tripple mount vert. 'Sokol' means hawk.
The flag is green with the coat of arms in the middle.

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:
Sokolovac: Statut Opcine Sokolovac, 09.02.2006, Službeni
glasnik Koprivnicko- križevacke županije, br. 3/06,
03.03.2006.
