Državna himna Bosne i Hercegovine (Државна химна Босне и Херцеговине, National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina) is the national anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The anthem was adopted on 25 June 1999, by the promulgation of the Law on the National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina,[1] replacing the previous anthem, "Jedna si jedina", which apparently excluded the country's Serb and Croat communities, though, was in use from February 10, 1998, as the flag and coat of arms.
Dušan Šestić composed the melody, to which initially there were no lyrics under the working title Intermeco, which is commonly referred to as the title of the anthem.
Lyrics written by Dušan Šestić, the original composer, and Benjamin Isović were accepted by a parliamentary commission in February 2009.[2] The decision still requires approval of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[3] The lyrics do not mention the two administrative entities or the constitutional nations that make up the state, and end with the line "We are going into the future, together!".
