Novo Sarajevo is one of the communities in which the city of
Sarajevo is divided, in the Sarajevo Canton, of course. Novo
Sarajevo is as the name suggest a new part of the city buit after
the World War II. The symbols adopted are appropriate in that
context.
As I was informed after asking for some flag info on the official
web site of the community at <www.novosarajevo.ba>,
the coat of arms and the flag were adopted by a community council
decision on 4 April 2000, published in the cantonal official
gazette: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Opcine Novo Sarajevo i njihovoj
upotrebi, 04. 04. 2000. Službene novine Kantona Sarajevo,
br. 5/2000 The coat of arms picture the modern sights of
the city - the telecommunications tower at the Hum hill and the
building of the power company Elektroprivreda BiH and a bridge
over the Miljacka river as dark blue silhuettes against the
silver shield. The flag is light blue with the white bordered
coat of arms in the middle. Apparently the flag is used only in
the vertical variant.

However, the flag is mostly used in horizontal variant as you
can see on this photos here,
here,
here
and here.
It seems that only the table flag is used in vertical variant as
seen here.
