Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country with one of the richest history in the world. It was called Illyricum in ancient times when the Illyres or Illyrians (warlike Indo-European tribes) replaced the Neolithic population. Celtic migrated to the country and disposes some Illyrians and mixed with the natives in the 4th and 3rd centuries. Romans conquered the country in the late 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. Christianity entered the region at the end of the 1st century.

Called Illyricum in ancient times, the area now called Bosnia and Herzegovina was conquered by the Romans in the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. and folded into the Roman province of Dalmatia. In Dec. 1991, Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence from Yugoslavia and asked for recognition by the European Union (EU). In a March 1992 referendum, Bosnian voters chose independence, and President Alija Izetbegovic declared the nation an independent state.

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. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of history of Herzegovina Flag right at home.
