 East European Constitutional Review
The High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereafter, HR), the chief executive officer for the international civilian presence in the country, has found it necessary to bypass the elected parliamentary assembly in matters supposedly within its competence and to remove elected officials.(1) He now is proposing to place controls upon the press.
Bosnia is thus revealed as a symbolic construction, a cause of and for the international community, but not a government of or by its own peoples.
Thus, from the start, Bosnia was a “democracy” that lacked the consent of many of the governed, a putatively joint state composed officially of two (in reality, three) constituent units, each armed against the other, and “united” by a supposed central “government” that has almost no authority to act within the country.

 Bosnia and Herzegovina - The 1998 Flag Change - Westendorp Comission - The Choice)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The main objection in Bosnia and Herzegovina Parliament was to the shade of the blue, and it is considered that the flag that will be "decreeted" by Westerndorp will have the "darker" blue background (I assume that means the "standard" FOTW blue B, not the navy blue B++).
It represents unity not division, it is the flag that belongs in Europe.
The flag was drawn from the specification sheets supplied by the Office of the High Representative and uses Pantone Reflex Blue and Pantone 116C (the same as the European Union's flag).
