      Čudnovata Klo no, people who are from and support Bosnia aka Bosnians of any religion. The ones who don’t like our pre-ottoman flag usually say they are either Serbian or Croatian so really they shouldn’t have much say, no?

    • @ranmirmo5787
      @ranmirmo5787 Před 4 lety +22

      Čudnovata Klo i think logically speaking as long as there are people who refer to themselves as Bosnian, there is a Bosnia. For example, say Croatians chose to leave and go to Croatia because of money, culture, whatever reason. Bosnia doesn’t stop existing, it just has less Croats than before. Same for Serbs. Only if there are no more Bosnians/Bosniaks in Bosnia, is there no more Bosnia. (Just look at their name). Because if there are no Bosnians/Bosniaks, it’s people who declare themselves as Serbs and Croats who are left, and who would most likely not want the country to exist. This “constitutive peoples” is not a bad idea if all parties loved their homeland. Unfortunately, it just gives C and S the upperhand to make sure it doesn’t progress, which doesn’t help anyone.

    • @ranmirmo5787
      @ranmirmo5787 Před 4 lety +10

      Imran Baa Can’t deny that some actual Bosnian Croats/Bosnian Serbs exist. Croatian Bosniaks/Serbian Bosniaks exist in those countries as well, although they are not as prominent or just easily adapted to Croat/Serb ethnicity overtime because those countries had a stronger national pride than Bosnia did, especially since austro-hungary. But the fact that EVERYBODY and ANYBODY that identifies as Orthodox/Catholic is automatically Serb/Croat makes no sense. It was just easier for Serb/Croat media and propaganda to convert the christian Bosniaks to their ethnicity, when the other only option left was Islam/ottoman culture. It’s unfortunate, but the ottoman times really did seperate is not just from our own, but from the rest of europe. But to say that you are Croat/Serb, and not even say “hey, i’m a christian Bosnian, I want to be apart of this country just as much as my muslim countrymen because my roots are from here as much as theirs and I want to progress together.” is a bit crazy. To deny the flag with the Bosnian flueur de lis is strange, because if it is christian, and the muslims still want it to return as the symbol of the country, then whats the issue? I get the religious/dislike for Turks side of their point of view, but just throwing the idea of “Bosnia” away because of that is frustrating.

CoA of Bosnia was the CoA of the family, just how when the Hrvatinic family ruled over Bosnia, their family crest (hand with sword) became the bosnian coat of arms too. It has nothing to do with lilies growing in Bosnia, but lilies simply being a popular religious motive in the middle ages.

      It’s extremely disappointing because Bosnia is so split for absolutely no reason (minus the war of course which was fueled by illogical propaganda). If everyone had come together and created a unified country with its own people (the Bosnian people), a national referendum would’ve most likely taken place to replace the flag (and the anthem because it’s also a rip-off).

    Fleur de lis symbolises Holy trinity, and it was used as a symbol of entire Kotromanić dynasty, which at one point ruled not only Bosnia, but also parts of Serbia. However, in 1992 only one of three nations that live in Bosnia used it as it's flag during the war, so it had to be replaced in 1998, in order to try to satisfy everyone.

      No, it's not a Christian symbol. There are stecci with Ljiljani (not "Fleur de Lis") that are carbon-dated and said to be over 1600 years old (so made and carved around 400 A.D.), when Bosniaks/Bosnjani weren't even Christian. It's a pre-Christian symbol that was also used by some Illyrian tribes (ironically, a tribe called "Bassania" (= Bosnia), and a few others).

      @@DobriBosnjanin1832 Those are 100% Fleur de lis (Lis being french for lilly - or ljiljani in the balkans) - a common heraldic symbol, especially in catholic Europe. No, the stechci are NOT 1600 years old (as well as bosniaks not existing back then, and slavs in general not living in the balkans), the first ones were made in the late 12th century. Also there´s no proof of Bassanians ever having those symbols. The only known symbols of Illyrian tribes are the morning star and the half moon.

      @@madcro8209 Are you dumb or are you in denial?
      First of all, the "Fleur de Lis" look different than our Golden Lilies; Look it up and see it for yourself. It's not a huge difference, but there's one.
      Second of all, how come the Lilies were used by Bosnjani, when we had our own church (Bosnian Church), and it's a "Catholic symbol"? The Bosnian Church "didn't believe"/didn't pray to a Trinity, only in/to God himself (that's why many Bosnjani converted to Islam after the Ottomans conquered Bosnia).
      This made me seriously mad. Are you denying the fact that carbon-dating is a thing? Look it up for yourself, it's literally proven. I know you're ignorant, but science is a real thing, ya know.
      "bAsSaNiA diDn'T uSe liLiEs"... Again, ignorance at its finest; Read the book "Bosansko Kraljevstvo" and you'll see proof of Bassania using the lilies on some coins, crafted metals, and other stuff.
      And also, Bosniaks are Illyrians. The most trusted and most professional genetic institute in Europe, as well as the University of Oxford (ranked as the 4th best university in the world), have proven that, genetically, Bosniaks have mostly "Illyrian" genes/DNA, and it (the DNA-percentage) is even higher than that of Albanians (second highest in the world, behind Bosnian Croats).
      Like I said in these "individual responses", I'll say it again: Please, read some TRUSTED books and scripts, and try to argue with someone who actually knows stuff about history, instead of reading stuff on Wikipedia.

    Bosnia was a unified Sanjak up to 1580, it then became a paşalik up to 1833.
    Herzegovina did not have an independent province up to 1833.
    It was a first part of Bosnian Sanjak, then of Bosnia paşalik and then became a ejalet in 1833.

    • @ib368

      You’re right, the name Herzegovina stuck during the Austro-Hungarian occupation, which is unfortunate. Hopefully, Herzegovina will be considered as just another historical province, although this idea does anger a lot of Herzegovinians. This situation reminds me of the modern-day Swedish province of Skåne which has a relatively similar history to Herzegovina. Today, though, Sweden isn’t called “Sweden and Skåne.” We Bosnians like to overcomplicate things.

    the flag is wrong and not correct.
    There were no crosses but runolists.
    Herzegovina has never been a state, and is not today.
    Herzegovina is only a region of the State of Bosnia.
    Just because of the historical injustice, stands full-fledged with the name Bosnia.

    In 925 AD the Kingdom of Croatia was recognised by the Pope in Rome. At that time Croatia bordered Bulgaria on the Drina river as "Raska" (Serbia) was a region of Bulgaria ruled by Simeon I of Bulgaria.
    Bosnia was then a part of Croatia until 1102 when Croatia & including Bosnia enter an union with the Hungarian crown.

    I think one important thig was neglected - the Bosnian Serbs usualy do not use (or may even reject) the Bosnian flag, but rather use the Republika Srpska regional flag which is nearly identical to the flag of Serbia. This is a consequence of the Bosnian civil war, which itself was part of the Yugoslav Wars. Bosnia & Herzegovina consists of two large entities - the Bosniak-Croat dominated Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while the Serbian dominated lands form the Republika Srpska. The third and smaller entity is the Brčko District, which does not have a distinct flag

    A little addition about the ditched white flag of wartime Bosnia. It was dropped for political rather than ethnic reasons. It had been the banner of the wartime Republic of Bosnia and it was presumably seemed unfair to the Serbs (rather than Croats) that the republic against which they had rebelled should survive in symbol.
    As nicely explained in the video, the blue shield is a medieval symbol as are the golden lillies. The medieval kingdom had been Catholic-heretical and had drawn its reigning dynasty from both Croatian and Serbian nobility. In other words the symbology should not have intuitively been problematic - or associated with the Muslim community.
