The municipality of Pokupsko is located in the very south of Zagreb County, as its name clearly indicates in the region near the Kupa river, some 50 km south of Zagreb. Population is about 2,500 inhabitants, the village of the same name being only with 260 inhabitants. The municipalities encompasses 14 villages on the left bank of Kupa. The area of the municipality was part of the town of Zagreb until 1995.

The symbols of Pokupsko are described in the current Municiaplity Statutes Statut Općine Pokupsko, adopted on 27 July 2009 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 29 July 2009 in the Zagreb County official gazette Glasnik Zagrebačke Županije, No. 19.
The flag (photo) is blue with the coat of arms, bordered yellow, in the middle.
The official description of the coat of arms mentions the oak leaves' "plume" around the shield, as may be seen on the wall depiction of the coat of arms (photo), although obviously this "plume" is not present on the flag. The description of the flag also mentions a "yellow edge", which should be interpreted as a fringe rather than the flag's border, and which is apparently not present on the flag on the abovementioned photo.

Coat of arms of Pokupsko - Image by Željko Heimer, 10 April 2009
The coat of arms (municipal website) is: "Azure a church argent roofed gules behind the walls with two corner towers also argent roofed gules each topped with a white flag. In chief a mullet and a crescent or and in base a barrulet wavy argent".
The church is the church in Pokupsko dedicated to the Ascension of the Blessed Virgin Mary, formerly known as the St. Ladislaus church. It may be that this is based on some previous seal of the community. The wavy line represents river Kupa.
