Bosnia and Herzegovina make up a triangular-shaped republic, about half the size of Kentucky, on the Balkan peninsula. The Bosnian region in the north is mountainous and covered with thick forests. The Herzegovina region in the south is largely rugged, flat farmland. It has a narrow coastline without natural harbors stretching 13 mi (20 km) along the Adriatic Sea.
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 banner comprises of a blue base with seven, white five-pointed stars crossing the banner corner to corner and vertically, and driving from left to right. Above and underneath the stars are two half stars. To one side of the stars lies a yellow isosceles triangle.
The three points of the triangle stand for the three-nation theory of Bosnia, representing the people who make up the nation. These are the Croats, Bosniaks and Serbs. The white stars represent Europe and they are meant to be infinite 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. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history of Herzegovina Flag right at home.
