Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina

The current national flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina was adopted on February 4, 1998 replacing a different flag that served as flag from independence.

The flag contains a wide medium blue vertical band on the fly side with a yellow isosceles triangle abutting the band and the top of the flag. The remainder of the flag is medium blue with 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-nation theory of Bosnia (Croats, Bosniaks, and Serbs). The stars are meant to be infinite in number and thus they continue from top to bottom.
