License plate (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
The license plate in Bosnia and Herzegovina show since September 28, 2009 at the left edge of a blue bar with the country code BIH , fitting into the pan-European standard. The number-letter combination follows the pattern A12-B-123 and does not provide any information about the origin of the vehicle. The signs use the FE script developed in Germany .
Agricultural vehicles are given license plates with green letters. License plates for taxis begin with the letters TA followed by a hyphen and six digits. Temporary signs have red font and show the letters TT . In the course of the license plate reform of 2009, new diplomatic license plates were also introduced. Those now show yellow writing on a light blue background and are therefore very similar to the Croatian diplomatic signs . The signs first show a number that encodes the country of origin and a letter that indicates the status of the mission. Finally a three-digit serial number follows.
Vehicles of the armed forces have different license plates. On the left, they show the national coat of arms and the letters OS BiH for Bosnian Oružane snage Bosne i Hercegovine . This is followed by a consecutive number, a hyphen and a letter.
The nationality symbol BIH is sometimes displayed on vehicles with a small i .
history
Transitional period with different characteristics
Until the breakup of the SFR Yugoslavia , the Yugoslav license system was used. With the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992, a transitional system was first introduced. The black and white color scheme was retained, but no symbols were used. The signs began with the two regional letters, followed by a four to five-digit number. A single letter appeared after a plaque.
Republika Srpska
In the Republika Srpska , one of the two entities in today's state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, separate license plates were issued from 1992/1993. They resembled the Yugoslav or Serbian signs , but used Cyrillic letters to code their origin . The region abbreviation was followed by the old coat of arms of the Republika Srpska and two groups of digits separated by a hyphen. Trailer plates showed the region at the end of the sign, police license plates were blue and began with a П.
Republic of Herceg-Bosna
From 1992/1993, license plates similar to the Croatian system were issued in the Croatian federal areas . The only difference to the Croatian signs was that after the region abbreviation instead of the Croatian coat of arms, that of the internationally not recognized Republic of Herceg-Bosna was depicted.
In the areas controlled by the Bosnian government, separate signs were issued from 1994, which were supplemented with a blue stripe with the coat of arms and the nationality symbol BIH on the left edge from 1995 .
New regulation 1998
In 1998, the high representative of the international community decided to reform the license plates in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The reasons were ongoing national hostilities and attacks on members of the other nationality. They wanted to make it impossible to be able to recognize the origin and thus the likely ethnicity on the license plate . With the introduction of the anonymous system, the old license plates were completely abolished. They were white with black writing, three digits on the left, then a letter and three more digits on the right, each separated by a hyphen. Only the letters that have the same meaning in the Serbian- Cyrillic and Latin alphabet were used, i.e. A, E, J, K, M and T, but not the letter O, as it can be confused with the number 0. The font corresponded to the German DIN font .
Temporary signs had a yellow background. Diplomatic license plates were still based on the Yugoslav system with yellow letters on a black background. They began with the abbreviation for the region (mostly SA for Sarajevo) and initially showed a number that coded the country of origin. A hyphen was followed by a letter and another hyphen was followed by a consecutive number.
