The new coat of arms and the flag depicts the blue sky with stars above green, black and white curved fields representing vegetation and mineral wealth of the region - the coal and salt. These symbols were changed from previous reflecting the decision of the High Commissioner regarding the displaying and using of the common, neutral and inoffensive symbols. The flag is blue with the coat of arms in its centre and four more stars at each side of the arc continuing the arc of stars in the arms.

The Tuzla Canton is established in February 1999 by changing the name of the former Tuzla - Podrinje Canton.

Design: Adin Šadić from Tuzla

The gates of Tuzla are the central element of the cantonal coat of arms, and the cheques and crescent represent the two major nations of the canton - Croats and Bosniaks. The blue waves under the doors represent the three main rivers and the lake of the region - Drina, Sava and Spreča and Lake Modrac. The crown is a variation of the old Bosnian crown with fleurs-de-lis, the kind used among other arms, on the Austro-Hungarian coats of arms of Bosnia. The flag is green-white-red, the green occuping the top 70% of the width while the other two stripes occuping 15% each. The coat of arms is set in the centre of the first half of the flag.
