Statehood Day (
The Law on the Proclamation of 25 November as the Statehood Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official Gazette of R B&H, No. 9/95) stipulates that November 25 is Bosnia and Herzegovina's Statehood Day but this directive is, in practice, ignored by the authorities in the Republika Srpska entity.
Statehood Day should not be confused with Independence Day, which is held each year on 1 March in honor of the 1992 referendum that indicated that a majority of Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats were in favor of becoming a sovereign nation. The total turnout of voters was 63.73%, 99.7% of whom voted for independence while the majority of the Bosnian Serb population boycotted the referendum. [5]
