Such badges were very common in the twentieth century. Apart from the regions of Yugoslavia, this principle of construction was used in the signs of dominion and republics of <a href=\"https:\/\/flags-world.com\/en\/flags-of-england\/\">England<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/flags-world.com\/en\/flag-of-the-soviet-union\/\">USSR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span itemprop=\"image\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><img itemprop=\"url image\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3080\" src=\"https:\/\/flags-world.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/flag-bosnii-i-gertsogoviny-2.png\" alt=\"Flag of Bosnia and Ducago-2\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" \/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1024\"><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"512\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end of the exit from the composition of Yugoslavia, a new flag was approved in Bosnia and Herzegovina: a blue shield was placed on a snow-white rectangular field in a gold edge. The shield itself was divided by a snow-white strip passing from the left upper angle to the right lower right. Three heraldic signs of the blade were stated on both sides of this strip. These days, this flag is considered obsolete (its official application does not result from March 31, 2007), but it is still very popular among Bosnian nationalist and religious (Islamic) organizations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span itemprop=\"image\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><img itemprop=\"url image\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3081\" src=\"https:\/\/flags-world.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/flag-bosnii-i-gertsogoviny-3.png\" alt=\"Flag of Bosnia and Herzogovina-3\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" \/><meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"1024\"><meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"512\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At first, there were 7 projects of the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Project 1: Flag on Czech, colors show three main civilizations: Bosnians, Croats, Serbs.<\/li>\n<li>Project 2: On a blue background, the branch of the Laurel &#8211;
