There is quite a number of places in Slovenia and other Slavic countries named Bistrica, so the attribute "ob Sotli" (on the river Sotla) is mandatory.
Žejlko Heimer, 17 June 2002
The flag and arms of Bistrica ob Sotli are prescribed by decision Odlok o grbu in zastavi Občine Bistrica ob Sotli, adopted on 18 December 2000, and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije, 6/2001.
The flag is rectangular, in proportion 2:1, yellow with a thin blue
stripe in the middle, of width 1/40 of the hoist. In the middle
there is, perpendicularly to the hoist, the coat of
arms, half as wide as the hoist.
There is no special provision prescribing that the flag shall not be
hoisted horizontally, though its design is obviously meant primarily
for vertical hoisting.
Stanič & Jakopič [j2s05] do not show the prescribed flag but a blue vertical flag with the coat of arms in the base and with yellow squares along the lower edge.

The coat of arms is a shield in Renaissance shape. In the middle
of the white field there is a crown with three visible golden leafs
and three blue oval stones, and with a blue cap, topped with an
ornament of golden ball on which is standing a blue eagle ready to
rise. Under the crown is a yellow field mantled with a blue royal
cape.
Stanič & Jakopič [j2s05] show the eagle mirrored.

Table flag of Bistrica ob Sotli - Image reconstructed by Željko Heimer, 17 June 2002
The table flag of Bistrica ob Sotli is similar to the flag for hoisting, but the blue
vertical stripe ends at the half of its visible lower part, making
space for the writing:
OBČINA
BISTRICA
OB SOTLI
Below the writings is a blue stripe.
