Statehood Day in Bosnia and Herzegovina is observed in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina every November 25. This public holiday commemorates the adoption of a resolution in 1943 that declared Bosnia and Herzegovina as an equal community of Serbs, Bosniaks, and Croats during the occupation of Yugoslavia. The day is marked by political discussions and celebrations within the Federation, although it is not recognized in the Republika Srpska. The choice of November 25 as Statehood Day reflects ongoing political controversies, as representatives of the Federation do not acknowledge the General Framework Agreement Day on November 21 as a national day. The significance of Statehood Day lies in its historical context and the ongoing dialogue about national identity within Bosnia and Herzegovina.
