The City Municipality of Sopot uses an emblem in the shape of a shield with a landscape scene and an inscription, as well as a white flag with that emblem in the centre. The central motif of the emblem is the monument to the fallen fighters of the Kosmaj Partisan Detachment, shown before a green hill.
Blazon
An emblem in the shape of a shield: beneath a blue sky a green hill and before it a grey stylised monument of radiating pillars, with a plum sprig with fruit on each flank and gold oak leaves with acorns at the bottom; along the edge ears of wheat and the inscription “ГРАДСКА ОПШТИНА СОПОТ”.
A white flag with the municipality's emblem in the centre; a version with the name of the municipality written out is also known.
Symbolism and meaning
The monument in the emblem was erected on Kosmaj in honour of the fighters of the Kosmaj Partisan Detachment and the fighters from Posavina who fell in the Second World War. It was designed by the architect Gradimir Medaković and the sculptor Vojin Stojić, and unveiled on 2 July 1971, on the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the detachment.
