The article says that the Independence Day was declared as such on 28 Feb, 1995 and celebrated for the first time "two" days later on 1 March 1995. Was 1995 a leap year? --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 09:32, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How can this day be a national public holiday, in terms of a nation-state, when it's not celebrated in the whole of that country (in RS, like mentioned---49% of the country, no by the collective presidency of the country/the collective head of state), and when there is no state law that declares it a state (nation/state) holiday?...its only a holiday in the half of the country, so like a provincial, holiday, in the hierarchy kinda below the national holidays (in BiH, 1st of may, but above municipalitian holidays...)...there is no state law that declares this day a national holiday (in terms of BiH, maby a bosniak holiday)...there is a law that declares it a entity holiday (Federation of BiH, but not a state holiday)...--Ivan VA (talk) 20:28, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Only the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared it the independence day. Which means that it's not Bosnia and Herzegovina's public holiday, but only of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. --
