Bulgaria’s national flag is a horizontal tricolour of white, green and red. The three equal bands run from white at the top to green in the middle and red at the bottom.
What does the Bulgarian flag look like?
The flag is rectangular with three equal horizontal stripes. The Bulgarian government specifies a width-to-length ratio of 3:5.
History of the Bulgarian tricolour
The white-green-red combination became associated with the modern Bulgarian state in the nineteenth century and was adopted after liberation from Ottoman rule. During the communist period, versions of the flag carried a state emblem near the hoist. That emblem was removed as Bulgaria transitioned to its present constitutional system.
