Bosnia and Herzegovina marked the 82nd anniversary of its Statehood Day on Tuesday with a series of official ceremonies in the capital, Sarajevo.

The day commemorates the historic first session of the National Anti-Fascist Council for the Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZAVNOBiH), held on November 25, 1943, in Mrkonjic Grad, which laid the foundations for the country’s modern statehood.

Flag raising and public ceremonies

The commemorations began on Hum Hill with the ceremonial raising of the Bosnian flag, followed by events at the Eternal Flame Monument and Kovaci Martyrs’ Cemetery. Members of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency, including Zeljko Komsic and member Denis Becirovic, attended the ceremonies alongside government officials, local authorities and citizens.
