The diocesan coat-of-arms is divided in three fields. The lower one has a red background, which symbolises the many martyrs of the time during and after the Second World War in the Kočevska region. In the middle of the field stands a golden horse, which is a connection to the historical collegiate chapter of Novo Mesto, which preserves this symbol till its second provost [[Georg von Slatkonia]], who became the bishop of Vienna in 1513 and the founder of the Wiener Sängerknaben choir. The golden horse in the Slovene language makes a connection with his surname, as Zlat-konj-a can be translated as Golden-horse. | The diocesan coat-of-arms is divided in three fields.

The heraldic left field is green, which symbolises the natural wealth of the Dolenjska and Kočevska regions with its wide green fields and forests. In the middle of this section, there are three golden apples, which is the attribute of Saint Nicolas, patron of the cathedral of Novo mesto and at the same time a symbol of the Christian charity and the serving mission of the bishop. | The heraldic left field is green, which symbolises the natural wealth of the Dolenjska and Kočevska regions with its wide green fields and forests.
