Bosnia-Herzegovina Flag: A Symbol of Unity and Neutrality

The Bosnia-Herzegovina 4′ x 6′ Indoor Nylon Flag is a stunning representation of the country’s rich history and cultural heritage. This flag features a wide medium blue vertical band on the fly side with a yellow isosceles triangle abutting the band and the top of the flag. The remainder of the flag is medium blue with seven full five-pointed white stars and two half stars top and bottom along the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Meaning Behind the Design

• The three points of the triangle are understood to stand for the three constituent peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs.
• The triangle is also seen to represent the map of Bosnia and Herzegovina which looks like a triangle or a heart, often referred to as the ‘heart-shaped nation’.
• The stars, representing Europe, are meant to be infinite in number and thus they continue from top to bottom.

Colors of Neutrality and Peace

• The flag features colors often associated with neutrality and peace – white, blue, and yellow.
• The colors yellow and blue are also seen to be taken from the flag of Europe, with the color blue originally based on the UN.
• They are also colors traditionally associated with Bosnia.

A Historical Note

The flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina was adopted on February 21, 1998. It replaced the previous flag which featured a fleur-de-lis symbol, reminiscent of the country’s history under French and Austro-Hungarian rule. The new design aimed to represent the country’s cultural diversity and its path towards European integration.
