Overview

A few days ago, the city of Brcko in Bosnia & Herzegovina was proclaimed to be a separate district, apart from the Serbian Republic as well as the (Moslem-Croatian) Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Jan Zrzavy , 10 March 2000

According to the OHR website (defunct):
Article 2 : Name and Seat -
The name of the District is: "The Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina". The seat of the District is the town of Brcko.
Article 3 : Flag and Coat-of Arms -
There shall be no flag and Coat-of-Arms for the District other than the flag and Coat-of-Arms of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Article 4 : Seal -
The District shall have a round seal with the text "Bosnia and Herzegovina, The Brcko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina" in both the Cyrillic and Latinic alphabet

At <www.ohr.int> one can find "Brcko Arbitration - Arbitral Tribunal for Dispute over Inter-Entity Boundary in Brcko Area - Final Award: ANNEX", 5 March 1999 with its article 11 quoting:

"11.Symbols 
The District Assembly shall determine all symbols for the District, provided that all such symbols shall be politically and ethnically neutral and subject to final approval by the Supervisor. There shall be no specific flag for the District other than the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The flags of both entities may be flown within the District, but the flag of one entity will not be flown without the other being flown on essentially equal terms. Both the Latinic and Cyrillic alphabets will be used on essentially' equal terms for all official purposes. Any citizen of the District shall have the right to request the issuance of official documents in any of the three officially-recognized languages and shall have the right to use any such language in official and all other correspondence, The District government and the Supervisor shall be responsible for issuance of a District identification card."

So, no flag for Brcko at all!

I have some useful information on the Brcko District of BIH. The ones I have from Brcko Dictrict Mayor Mr. Sinisa Kisic':
1. Full name is: Brcko Disctict of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Distrikt Brcko Bosni i Hercegovini - written both in Croat and Serb).
2. The only Flag and CoA of the District are the Bosnian-Herzegovinian ones. There are no separate symbols for the District as for today. There is also Bosnian CoA on the Brcko District Official Seal.
3. CoA on the web, entitled as the Previous Coat of Arms is the present CoA of the City of Brcko (as used on the City Map). I do not know if there is separate flag for the City of Brcko.
