Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina - stock photo

The flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina features a medium blue field with a striking yellow right triangle cutting across it. Along the hypotenuse of the triangle, there are seven full five-pointed white stars, with two half stars at the top and bottom. Symbolically, the three points of the triangle represent the three main ethnic groups or constituent peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs. Additionally, the triangle's shape mirrors the approximate outline of the country's territory. The stars, symbolizing Europe, are intended to be infinite in number, representing unity and inclusivity. They extend seamlessly from the top to the bottom of the flag. The colorswhite, blue, and yellowcarry connotations of neutrality and peace, while also holding significance in Bosnian culture and history. The blue background also draws parallels to the flag of Europe, further emphasizing Bosnia and Herzegovina's ties to the continent.
