At the beginning of 1832, Bosnia and Herzegovina was freed from Ottoman rule for a short time and independence was declared. The flag used from 1831 to 1832 was green with a yellow moon and a five-pointed star in the middle. The flag began to be used with the beginning of the struggle against the Ottoman authorities on September 14, 1830.
