      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 4 года назад +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.

    • @ImranCeso

    • @ranmirmo5787
      @ranmirmo5787 4 года назад +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).

    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.

      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.

    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.

    • @DobriBosnjanin1832
      @DobriBosnjanin1832 4 года назад +18

      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.

      @@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.

    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

      Have you a proof that he identified as bosnian nationality? No, you dont have.
      Let me explain, croats came about year 619.-622. to the western Balkans from around the area of Poland.
      The rule of croatian dukes of was spreaded to todays Croatia (without Istria), Bosnia, Herzegowina, Boka Kotorska, Vojvodina and some parts of Hungary.
      Duke Tomislav became first croatian king in 925. at the "Duvanjsko polje" by Tomislavgrad who carry his name today.
      Croatian kingdom was also ruling in todays Bosnia and Herzegowina.
      Well, in 1102.the last croatian king died at Petrova Gora, you gess his name was Petar, Petar Svacic and whole Croatia fell under Hungary rule.
      The croatian royalties and nobel people saw that they cannot return the state to indipendence so a Slawlonian nobel, Kulin ban (ban is known to be only as a nobel title in Croatia) stated a contract with Dubrovnik Republic known as the "Povelja Kulin bana" in 1189.as a begining of Bosnian state and later on kingdom. You have other ban-s as Hrvoje Vukcic Hrvatinic, what state his name who he is. How come Kotromanic and Kotromanovic is a last name in todays croatian people and not in bosnian people? However, as a proud Bosnian you should know that Bosnia was spread around the same teritory as Kingdom of Croatia without only the northern teritory in todays Lika, Zagreb and Slawonia who was in Hungary at that time.
      So, it is not wrong if you tell me that I am a Bosnian Catholic/Ortodox just as you are a Croatian Muslim/Ortodox :)
      Research what happend to Croatian Ortodox Church...

      2) Not a single document in your imagination, but Rome mentions him very well, and the Pope also, refering to him as Tomislau Rex Croatorum and even by your belief that he he wasnt a king still changes nothing becouse croatian kingdoms east border was on the river Drina by any croatian king at the trone and you can research that if you are not a nationalistic scumbag!
      3) not a single ban was croatian? Hrvoje Vukcic Hrvatinic nije hrvat? Thats like you say Croaje Vukcic Croatić isnt a croat? What about ban Jelacic? What about Kulin ban? Kulin ban is a slawonian, Slawonia is a croatian region... just like Bosnia, Boka, Vojvodina, Herzegowina... now, religion played a big role by deviding the Croatian people. The croatian ortodox church fell under the rule of the serbian ortodox church and croatian ortodox became suddenly serbs, and croatian muslims became bosniaks. Well, the bonsiaks have a historical backround to be a nation while tje serbs doesnt becouse they never had a state or majority western of Drina. The bosniak backround I already explained to you and you can except it with respect to the truth or you can be a "balkanska neobrazovana seljacina" and reject it. Its your choice.
      Bit remember this, Bosnian state is to Croatia what Austria/Österreich is to Germany.
      Too bad we didnt create no 'switzerland' in the Balkans so we have a bank-state like the germans have but we have what we have and we should keep it safe and in peace.

Ti imas problem s tim da ti ne moze u glavu uci da je Bosna nastala nakon raspada Hrvatske kraljevine koja je dozela do Drine na istoku, dakle i Bosna je bila u njenom sastavu kao i Dalmacija i Slavonija. Normalno da pise da tu zive bosnjani, da se dalmacija osamostalila kao Bosna, pisalo bi da zive tu Dalmosi.
      Imas problem s tim da je kulin ban slavonac a ne bosanac, imas problem s tom da ban hrvoje vukcic hrvatinic nije ni kinez ni japanac vec hrvat kao i drugi banovi, i da to je hrvatska titula!
      "Ban je naslov visokog državnogdostojanstvenika u Hrvatskoj koji se javlja još od ranog srednjeg vijeka. Ban je bio na čelu uprave, vojske i sudstva, kao kraljev zamjenik i predstavnik u Hrvatskoj. U slučajevima kad bi herceg vršio vlast u Hrvatskoj, ban je bio njegov zamjenik. Sve do potkraj 18. stoljećaban nije bio nikom drugom podložan, doli izravno kralju pa je stoga u izvorima često nazivan i potkraljem.
      Kasnije se istovjetan naslov pojavljuje u srednjovjekovnoj Bosni, isprva kao oznaka vladara, a kasnije vojnog zapovjednika u Jajačkoj i Srebreničkoj banovini te od 15. stoljeća u Mačvi i Severinu, kao vojno-administrativna služba."

    I commend you for avoiding the war subject. Although, I don't know why you talked about canton flags and yet managed to completely ignore Republic of Srpska flag, which is on a higher level than a canton. I hope it wasn't malicious mistake.

    We Bosnians need to bring back our old Lilly flag. Give it some more features that will represent other people and that'll be all to it. The new flag we is Masonic trash and doesn't really give the vibe of our country.
