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.

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.
