Flag of West Herzegovina Canton

The flag of West Herzegovina Canton is prescribed by Law Zakon o grbu i zastavi Županije Zapadnohercegovačke, adopted on 9 April 2003 by the Canton Assembly and published on 14 April 2003 in the Canton official gazette Narodne novine Županije Zapadnohercegovačke, No. 5.

The flag is equal to the flag adopted in 1992 by the Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia and must therefore have been in use in the canton years before its official adoption.
The flag is basically a variant of the Croatian national flag, from which it differs only by the coat of arms.

The coat of arms is a slight variation of the Croatian coat of arms, differing in the shape of the shield and having a golden triple wattle ornament in chief.
