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 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.
