Statehood Day in Bosnia and Herzegovina is being celebrated since the first session of the State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the city of Mrkonjic Grad on Nov. 25, 1943.

Bosnia and Herzegovina regained the right to become a nation, its 1,000-year-old historical borders were preserved, and was guaranteed to be one of the six equal republics within the former Yugoslavia.
