The flag of the Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia consists of three equal size, horizontal stripes in the pan-Slavic colours: red, white and blue. In the middle is the Coat of arms of the Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia stylized with a triple wattle at the top.
The flag was adopted by the short-lived Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia in the early 1990s. Since the state's reincorporation into Bosnia and Herzegovina, the flag has come to represent all Croats in the nation. It is more favoured by the country's Croats than the official state flag.
Famous quotes containing the words flag and/or republic:
“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
“I have always considered it as treason against the great republic of human nature, to make any man’s virtues the means of deceiving him.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
