VUKOVAR AND SRIJEM COUNTY

Origin/meaning:
The county coat of arms is in general the same as the coat of arms of the Srijem county granted in 1748 by Empress Maria Theresia. The three white bars represent the three rivers of the region - Danube, Sava and Bosut. The golden collar on the deer is symbol of richness, and the Slavonian oak tree is symbol of natural wealth of the region. In the original coat of arms of 18^th century in place of the oak there was a cypress tree, while the river-bars were made of wavy lines. The coat of arms was crowned with a golden crown.
