Bosnia and Herzegovina Symbols
Symbols of Bosnia and Herzegovina – United in Diversity
The national symbols of Bosnia and Herzegovina reflect the country’s complex history, multicultural identity, and aspiration for unity. Each element—from the flag to the anthem—tells a story of a nation shaped by diversity and resilience.
The Bosnian Flag features a bold, modern design: a yellow triangle representing the shape of the country and its three main ethnic groups, set against a blue background with white stars symbolizing Europe and continuity. It’s a visual statement of balance, belonging, and forward-looking values.
The Coat of Arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina mirrors the flag, with a three-pointed shield that echoes both the geographic shape of the country and the presence of Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs. It stands as a symbol of sovereignty and shared heritage.
The National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina, adopted in 1999, is one of the few in the world with no official lyrics. This instrumental piece was chosen to reflect inclusivity—representing all citizens equally without ethnic distinction.
