Bosnia and Herzegovina’s flag shows seven full stars.
The stars are white, five-pointed, and arranged along the hypotenuse of a yellow triangle on a medium-blue field. At the top and bottom of the diagonal line are two additional half stars, so the complete design contains seven full stars plus two partial ones.
The flag was adopted on 4 February 1998, after the Dayton-era settlement, and was updated in its legal specification on 10 August 2001. Its triangle approximates the shape of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while its three points are commonly associated with the country’s three constituent peoples: Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs.
The stars are often understood as symbols of Europe and are intended to continue infinitely beyond the flag’s edges. That symbolism explains the half stars: they suggest a larger, unbroken sequence rather than two extra complete stars. Therefore, a question asking specifically for “full stars” has the precise answer seven, not nine or five.
