About the flag
Created with international involvement after the Bosnian War, it avoids ethnic symbols. The yellow triangle suggests the country’s shape, and the stars along its edge are cut off at top and bottom to suggest they continue forever.
How to spot it: Blue field with a yellow right-angled triangle and a diagonal line of white stars, the end stars sliced by the flag’s edges.
