Overview

Sopje is a community in Vitovitica-Podravina County with just under 4,000 inhabitants some 10 km north of Slatina, 30 km east of Virovitica, on the bank of the Drava river.
The coat of arms is shown on the community web site <www.sopje.hr>. There is a "promise" that the decision on the coat of arms and flag shall be published on the site too. The coat of arms of Sopje is azure a garb or with a ribbon argent.

I noticed a slight error that revented me from identifying the change correctly. Namely the white thing surrounding the garb intersects differently then I showed it previously, and with this drawing it seems that the charge is not a ribbon but rather a kind of a clasp or a brace, possibly from some improtant archeological locality in the community. The flag is dark blue with the coat of arms set in the middle bordered with golden.
