The flag of Bulgaria consists of three horizontal stripes of white, green, and red, from top to bottom. The white stripe symbolizes peace and freedom, the green represents the agricultural richness of the land, and the red signifies the blood shed by those who fought for the nation's independence. This tricolor design has historical roots, with variations used since the 19th century. The current flag was officially adopted on July 5, 1991, after Bulgaria transitioned to democracy. The colors and their meanings reflect the country’s cultural identity and heritage
