The flag of the independent Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was based on the flag of medieval Bosnia, and the flag of the greatest dynasty in Bosnian history – the Kotromanić Dynasty. The white flag is rectangular in shape, with the emblem of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina situated in the middle.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s emblem is a replica of the coat of arms that was used to represent the rule of the first Bosnian king, King Tvrtko I Kotromanić. The emblem is a blue shield that is divided into two sections by a silver diagonal line that starts from the top-left-hand side of the shield. On the left and right-hand side of the shield, there are three gold colored fleurs-de-lis.
Regardless, the original flag of RB&H will always remain as the one under which the sovereignty of the Bosnian people was defended, as well as the right to autonomy, the right to democracy, and freedom of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Under this flag, oppressive regimes were defeated, and thousands of B&H patriots gave their lives to defend their homes.
