Bošnjaci is a community in the Vukovar-Srijem County, 50
km south-west of Vukovar, just
outside Županja, 4,600
inhabitants, all in the single (large) village of the same name.
Inspite of the name being the same as the name nowdays used by
Bosniaks as the etnic name, it has nothing to to with Bosnian
Muslims - it probably indicates that the original inhabitants
once crossed the Sava river from Bosnia, indeed, but that does no
mean that they were Muslims/Bosniaks, most probably they were
Croats, as they are today as well.
The web site of the community showes the Coat of
Arms and the ceremonial flag. The
"normal" flag is reconstructed based on these, but it
seems fairly stright reasoning. The coat of arms of Bošnjaci
is: vert a bread or in a wooden mould proper. Actually, I
am not quite sure if it is a bread shown, but seems reasonable -
it could as easily be a cheese, but I believe that bread
production is more probable to be shown here then the cheese -
however, let's hope we get this confirmed.
The flag is (probably) green with the coat of arms bordered
yellow in the middle. The ceremonial flag is dark green gonfalon
ending triangulary with golden fringe, the coat of arms bordered
yellow in the middle, name of the community above and wheat garb
and oak branch below it.

Coat of Arms and flag were designed by Heraldic Art d.o.o from
Rijeka and approved by the Ministry of Administration/Central
State Office for Administration before 2006.
