Novska is a city in Sisak-Mosavina County, some 10 km north of
confluence of Una into Sava, somewhere on the historical border
between historical Croatia proper and Slavonia.
The symbols must have been adopted about 1999, however since the
on-line official gazette (<www.glasila.hr>)
has issues from 2000 only, one can find only latter decisions.
These are certianly interesting too: Statutarna odluka o grbu i
zastavi Grada Novske, 5.07.2000. Službeni vjesnik, br. 9/00.
Statut Grada Novske, 26.09.2001. Službeni vjesnik, br. 17/01
The symbols are very simply descirbed, and without the images
from Grad Novska <www.novska.hr>,
I would be in doubt how to represent that correctly. My English
translation of the blazon is (and is equally dificult to
represent from blazon only): The coat of arms is gules a cross
double parted argent. The flag is blue with the coat of arms
bordered yellow in the middle.

The symbols were designed by the Heraldic Art d.o.o.
company from Rijeka.

Since about 1993 until the adoption of the above symbols
Novska used an other coat of arms. If there was flag to go with
it I was not avare of it. Tierced per fess, chief per pale, 1.
chequy gules and argent, 2. azure three oak leaves and two
accorns proper and 3. tierced in teine, azure and maroon
fimbriated argent overall a stork proper.
This "complicated" coat of arms was probably rejected
by the Ministry of Administration and the simple heraldic design
was adopted in late 1990's. However, the CoA was extensivly used
(on letterheads, promotive materials, web-site etc.). I am sure
that it was also used (on marigin tabs) on one issue of the post
stamps in 1990's, but I can't find which one it was.
