Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina

🎨 What the flag means

The flag is blue with a big yellow triangle and a line of white stars. The triangle's three points stand for the country's three main peoples, Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs, and its shape is like the country's map. The stars stand for Europe and run off the edges, as if they never end. Blue, yellow and white are colours of peace.
