Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Uncommon card · No. 114940

The national flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina contains a blue field with a yellow right triangle separating said field, and there are seven full five-pointed white stars and two half stars, top and bottom, along the hypotenuse of the triangle. The three points of the triangle stand for the three main ethnic groups (or "constituent peoples") of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs. The triangle represents the approximate shape of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The stars, representing Europe, are meant to be infinite in number, and thus they continue from top to bottom. The flag features colours often associated with neutrality and peace – white, blue, and yellow. They are also colours traditionally associated with Bosnian culture and history. The blue background is evocative of the flag of Europe. The Bosnian national flag is also often used for official purposes by the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the constituent entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
