Blazon
Two oval shields side by side. The dexter, divided horizontally: in the upper, blue field a silver eagle, a gold Latin cross and a brown squirrel; in the lower, red, a gold bend with a bear's paw, accompanied by two silver eight-pointed stars. The sinister, quartered: in the first, blue field a church in natural colours; in the second, blue, a silver eagle above two gold lions holding a red heart; in the third, blue, a red crayfish; in the fourth, blue, a gold six-pointed star above a red bar between silver wavy stripes, containing a brown marten.
The shields are supported by two angels in blue vestments; between them is a mitre, above the shields a double cross and bishop's staff, and below a prayer rope with a cross.
Symbolism and meaning
The marten on a red bar between two silver wavy stripes, with a star above, is taken from the historical arms of Slavonia, in which the stripes represent the Drava and the Sava.
