Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country situated in the western Balkan Peninsula of Europe. The larger region of Bosnia occupies the northern and central parts of the country, and Herzegovina occupies the south and southwest. The land has often felt the influences of stronger regional powers that have vied for control over it, and these influences have helped to create Bosnia and Herzegovina’s characteristically rich ethnic and religious mix.
The country was officially one of the 6 constituent republics that were established at the end of the war. The establishment was the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes that later changed to Yugoslavia. When the Germany occupied Yugoslavia in the World War II, Bosnia and Herzegovina were made part of Nazi-controlled Croatia. Bosnia and Herzegovina declared their independence from Yugoslavia in Dec. 1991.
The current Bosnian flag was adopted on Feb. 4, 1998. The country received its independence on Apr. 5, 1992. It was formerly one of six federal units constituting Yugoslavia. This Bosnian flag replaces one that was used from 1992 to 1998.
The Bosnian flag consists of a blue base with seven, white five-pointed stars crossing the flag diagonally and vertically, and descending from left to right. Above and below the stars are two half stars. To the right of the stars lies a yellow isosceles triangle.
The three purposes of the triangle stand for the three-country hypothesis of Bosnia, speaking of the general population who make up the country. These are the Croats, Bosniaks and Serbs. The white stars speak of Europe and they are intended to be boundless in number.
Initially, the Bosnian banner was to make use of the United Nations banner's blue shading, however, this was changed to a darker blue to compare with the banner of the European Union. The Flag Company Inc spent significant time in banner plans offered an exceptional version of decals and banners to remember the historical backdrop of Herzegovina Flag for future generations.
