Flag of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
The flag of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian: Zastava Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine; Croatian: Stijeg Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine; Serbian: Застава Федерације Босне и Херцеговине or Zastava Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine) was adopted on November 5, 1996.
On the flag, green stands for the Bosniaks and red for the Bosnian Croats. The same goes for the coat of arms, whereon the green arms and golden fleur-de-lys stand for the Bosniaks and the chequy shield for Bosnian Croats.
The ten stars arranged in a circle and, although they resemble those on the flag of the European Union, represent the 10 cantons of the Federation.
The federation is part of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has its own flag.
