Overview

Špišic Bukovica (S<pis<ic' Bukovica) is a community less the 7 km north-west of Virovitica, with about 5,000 inhabitants in the community, 1,800 of which live in the main village of the same name.
The coat of arms was adopted around 1995, as was once shown on the community web site. After some time (around 1997) it was removed from the site, and in correspondence with the community I learned that the ministry refused the design, so they stopped using it.
No info on any flag whatsoever.

The coat of arms that was introduced in early 1990's was an overcrwded quasiheraldic design that was soon rejected by the Ministry of Administration and is not in use any more by the community, or so they claim. The road sign at the entrance of the community still show this coat of arms, as I confirmed passing through a few days ago, though it is surely set up beofre the Ministry decision and was just left there standing. Similarly, the flag was brought to the County Hall (where I saw it) at the time, but was not removed later.
