Opava City, following the description above. Exner's old website had
the CoA inside a yellow, ornamented frame similar to Andorra's. Most probably
this flag is no longer officially accepted and some BoA may have already
been designed.

Opava city wards
Petr Exner has stated on Czech Vexillological Pages that three wards (mestske
casti) of Opava City allready have their symbols. I know only two of
them.
Opava City is since 1.1.2002 a City with own statute (Statutární
mesto Opava). Territory of the City is divided into 8 City districts
(mestských cástí, sg. mestská cást) called:
-
Komárov <http://www.opava-city.cz/opava/mc_komarov.php3>
Malé Hoštice <http://www.opava-city.cz/opava/mc_hostice.php3>
Milostovice <http://www.opava-city.cz/opava/mc_milostovice.php3>
Podvihov <http://www.opava-city.cz/opava/mc_podvihov.php3>
Suché Lazce <http://www.opava-city.cz/opava/mc_suchelazce.php3>
Vávrovice <http://www.opava-city.cz/opava/mc_vavrovice.php3>
Vlaštovicky <http://www.opava-city.cz/opava/mc_vlastovicky.php3>
Zlatníky <http://www.opava-city.cz/opava/mc_zlatniky.php3>
Rest of the territory is administred directly by City administration consists
of these quarters:
Opava - Mesto (Opava - /Inner/ City)
Opava - Predmestí (Opava - Suburb)
Jaktar
Katerinky u Opavy
Kylešovice
Opava City Districts are entitled to fly their own flag and to bear arms.
Some of them are doing it already (as far I know): Malé
Hoštice and Vávrovice, Komárov,
Milostovice, Podvihov.
