  Inland Croatia : Regions in Brief   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
The north-to-southeast strip of territory from Hlebine to Daruvar runs through the Podravina and Bilogora regions of Croatia, where some of Croatia's richest farmland and most provincial towns and villages lie, each with its own claim to fame.
This is the land of bountiful harvests and the heartbreak of war; of artists who interpret the vagaries of everyday life based on real people, and of men who gather each day to talk about what was and what might still be in Croatia.
The towns in Podravina and Bilogora are segments of Croatia's solid backbone, independent but interconnected, and the people who live there are the salt of the earth.

  The FAME: Virovitica and Podravina County
The coat of arms is based on the historical coat of arms of the Kingdom of Slavonia - a marten passant between two white bars - symbolizing rivers Drava and Sava, adding an anchor for differentiation, as a symbol of hope and fidelity.
The County of Virovitica and Podravina is situated in north-western part of the historical Slovonia, allong the Drava river that is Hungarian boundary.

 (E) Croatian NAIVE ART Workshop, March 29, 2004
