Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina

"This is the flag of the future. It is a flag that belongs in Europe."

"I respect the official flag in the way I respect all laws, but for me this flag has no meaning... I am not sure what those stars and colours are representing at all, and I preferred the old one that we used with the lilies."

"Some people told me that I shouldn’t have the flag with me in Banja Luka because it might be seen as a provocation but I told them – this is a flag for all of us. Why should I make exception here? ... Carrying the national flag meant a lot to me. I feel like I am doing something for my country, and I have a flag with me whether I am abroad or in Bosnia and Herzegovina"

"I am not sure I know anyone here who likes the state flag enough to use it on cars on wedding days or similar... In most such cases, the Republika Srpska flag is used or sometimes Serbia’s flag... We didn’t choose this flag. Someone just decided that we need to use it, and I believe this is why we are in this situation... I am not sure what the colors or the stars on the flag mean, probably something connected with the EU."

"That flag just doesn’t make any sense. It looks like some EU flag and for sure we are not in the EU. If you have three nations, it is hard to hope they will respect only one flag... I am not saying that I like or dislike the flag … but we can see that this flag isn’t that popular."

"Back then, you wouldn’t even ask questions about the national flag, but today I can understand that for many people the flag has no meaning at all since we devaluated everything."
