Bosnia & Herzegovina Statehood Day 2022
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Statehood Day. On this day in 1943, over 200 delegates gathered in Mrkonjić Grad and began the first session of the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZAVNOBiH). This event reestablished the country’s statehood and equality for all citizens.
November 25th is a holiday in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where people have the day off to celebrate their road to independence.
Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the flag waving in today’s Doodle in 1995. It displays a blue background with a yellow triangle and white stars that extend off the flag, implying the stars continue on. The flags’ colors represent peace and neutrality, and the design purposely does not convey any ethnic, religious, or political groups in accordance with the pluralist society.
On this day, citizens remember the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina and appreciate the beauty of its diversity. Happy Statehood Day, Bosnia and Herzegovina!
