Bosnia-Herzegovina

Statehood Day

The autonomous entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has its own public holiday, Statehood Day, that isn’t celebrated in the Republika Srpska. This holiday annually falls on November 25. The politicians of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina chose November 25 as Statehood Day to commemorate the day of adoption of the resolution, declaring that Bosnia and Herzegovina is an equal community of Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats. This resolution was adopted in 1943, when Yugoslavia was occupied and divided between Germany, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria.
