I have passed through Neum, the only seaside town in Bosnia
and Herzegovina, and there was a lot of Herzeg-Bosnia
flags along with flags of Neum municipality. (It was regional
holiday). The flag of Neum is red-white-blue triband with
narrower blue and red stripe and with Coat of Arms on white.
Ivan Sarajcic, 3 September 1999
I remember that the Coat of Arms on the flag was in blue-red
and white colors. I'm sure that yellow (orange) were not on
the flag. And the Coat of Arms was positioned as on vertical
flags.
Ivan Sarajcic, 12 September 1999
Ivan Sarajcic had pointed it out was a tricolor flag. But with
thinner bands of blue and white. The flag in question looks like
the flag of Israel (dimensions and design
wise).

Neum is in Herzegovina-Neretva Canton (nr. 7) - it is the only
place in B&H with access to sea-coast - just at the point
where B&H "cuts" Croatia in two (in south, just
north of Dubrovnik).

The coat of arms is shown on the official web site of the
community: Opcina Neum <www.neum.ba>.
There is the text of the 2001 Statutes, that mentions the
decision that adopted the coat of arms and the flag: Statut
Opcine Neum, 28. 02. 2001. Odluka o grbu i zastavi opcine Neum,
"Narodni list" slubeno glasilo Opcine Neum, br.
4/96
The flag of Neum is white with a red stripe near the one and a
blue stripe near the other longer edge (i.e. Isreali type) and
with the coat of arms in the middle.
The coat of arms consists of elements symbolising the sea, a
church a sail, the sun, a dove and the chequy pattern .
