This flag was created during 1991 and 1992, and was officially adopted as the new symbol of the Republic on May 4, 1992. The SVG version was made in February 2025 and published on March 1, 2025.

All other sources and information can be found on the Wikimedia Commons file of the Republic’s coat of arms. A must-visit if you want to learn more.

Author

The authors of the final version of the officially adopted flag are Prof. Dr. Enver Imamović and graphic designer Zvonimir Bebek. Other authors from the Working Group prior to the dissolution can be found in the cited sources.

The SVG version was created based on official documentation and other relevant sources, as cited above, by LeCorbusierB NRMostar (Reddit username u/LeCorbusierB) and FiliusBosnensis (Reddit username u/filius_bosnensis). It was entirely created from scratch, without using other people’s work.

Final update

The version marked with the date "0:59, 4 April 2025" is the last one I’ll upload, unless I come across new information in the meantime, as there’s still a part of the documentation I haven’t managed to find. It’s not much, maybe 10-20 pages. It might contain something new, or not, we’ll see.
