About

Previously, due to the unavailability of technical and graphic documentation of the Republic's symbols and parts of the amended Constitution to the public, coats of arms and flags of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina were created arbitrarily. As a result, today we have hundreds of variations of the same coat of arms and flag, both in physical and digital form.

The problem that existed during the war, unfortunately, continued afterward as well. Everything was based on visual interpretations and artistic liberties. With this, I hope we can correct that and establish a single, accurate version that has been officially adopted.

This current (latest) version is correct, created according to the officially adopted solutions for the new national symbols from 1992 and improved based on later changes. If I come across new information, it will be applied in the form of updates.

All material is in Bosnian, and everything marked as "Bosnian only" is planned to be translated into English in the future. All "Scanned pages" links lead to the same Reddit thread, where you can navigate by section titles. I couldn’t link to a single image because most sections contain multiple images.

For more information about the symbols of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, visit the following Reddit threads (Bosnian only):

• Historija grba i zastave Republike Bosne i Hercegovine

• Grbovi i zastave Republike Bosne i Hercegovine - prijedlozi, varijante i usvojeni

• Ispravnije verzije zastava Armije Republike Bosne i Hercegovine

The second link is outdated but will remain for reference and commentary purposes.

Further sources and additional information can be found in this Reddit thread under the section "Other useful material (Bosnian only)", as well as on this Wikimedia Commons file.

For those who do not understand the Bosnian language, I recommend using the page translation feature in their browser or a reliable LLM for the time being.
