Bosnia and Herzegovina celebrates its Statehood Day, also known as Independence Day, on March 1st. This national holiday marks the country's declaration of sovereignty and independence from the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
On March 1, 1992, a referendum was held in Bosnia and Herzegovina in which the majority of the population voted for independence. This move led to the establishment of an independent state, but it also marked the beginning of the Bosnian War, a conflict that lasted from 1992 to 1995.
Statehood Day is an important occasion in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it is observed with various events, ceremonies, and commemorations throughout the country.
