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.
Ruled by the Ottoman Empire from the 15th century, the region came under the control of Austria-Hungary in 1878 and subsequently played a key role in the outbreak of World War I. In 1918 it was incorporated into the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, where it had no formal status of its own. After World War II it became a constituent republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
The current Bosnian banner was received on Feb. 4, 1998. The nation got its freedom on Apr. 5, 1992. It was once one of six government units constituting Yugoslavia. This Bosnian and Herzegovina banner replace 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 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.
Originally the Bosnian flag was to make use of the United Nations flag's blue color, but this was changed to a darker blue to correspond with the flag of the European Union. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Herzegovina Flag for the future.
