The national flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina contains a
wide medium blue vertical band on the fly side with a yellow right triangle
abutting the band and the top of the flag. The reminder 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
constituent peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs. The
triangle represents the approximate shape of the territory of Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The stars, representing Europe, are meant to be infinite in number
and thus they continue from top to bottom. The flag features colours often
associated with neutrality and peace – white, blue, and yellow. They are also
colours traditionally associated with Bosnia. The blue background is suggestive
of the flag of Europe. (wiki)
