Overview

I found no info on the flag, though surely the coat of arms would be included in the flag, as is usual around here. Bihac is the capital of the Una-Sana canton. The coat of arms of Bihac is azure a fort with a flag atop argent over a wavy bar and in chief a white rosette and a yellow five-pointed star.
I believe that this coat of arms may be based on a historical pattern, especially the flag atop the fort may be from a medieval coat of arms. However, I have no more info at this time.

The coat of arms on <www.qsl.net> looks quite old, so it seems as if the present version is a re-adoption. That does not answer the question as what's on the flag, of course.

The colors of the flag are like in flag of Una-Sana Canton, but in proportion 2:6:2 according to municipality statute. Description of coat of arms and flag of Biha at <lin.bihac.org>
Several photos of the flag are here and here. Photo of a table flag here.
