Bosnia-Herzegovina Independence Day is being observed only in the Muslim-Croat Federation today, as was the case in previous years. In the country's second entity, the Serb Republic (RS), today is an ordinary working day. RS ignores Bosnian Independence Day The Federation celebrates March 1, 1992, when 64 of the republic's population voted in favor of separating from the former Yugoslavia (SFRJ). Muslims and Croat took part in the referendum, while it was boycotted by representatives of the Serb people in Bosnia. The referendum was organized on the recommendation of the Arbitrage Commission of the International Conference on Yugoslavia. It was followed by the three-and-a-half year war that took the lives of some 100,000 people. RS President Milorad Dodik said that March 1 was a holiday of the Bosniak people and that RS had no objections, but that the Serb entity itself was not celebrating the day, media from Banja Luka have reported. “This cannot be the Bosnia-Herzegovina statehood day. It is something they have been attempting to impose by force all these years. I think that this should finally be clearly understood by foreigners who visit such meetings,” Dodik said, stressing that March 1 is an ordinary working day in RS. Chairman of the Bosnian Parliamentary Assembly House of Peoples Dragan Covic said that Bosnia was a country in which everyone had the right to choose what they would celebrate. Beta Tanjug
