The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina is decorated with state flags, on the occasion of November 25, the Statehood Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
On that historically significant November 25, 1943, the first session of ZAVNOBIH (National Anti-Fascist Council of the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina) was held in Mrkonjić Grad. At the aforementioned session, a decision was made to restore the statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina, its historical borders, which dated back to the time of medieval Bosnia, were confirmed, and Bosnia and Herzegovina was defined as one of the six equal republics in the then Yugoslavia.
A few days later, the aforementioned decision of ZAVNOBIH was confirmed and made official at the First Session of AVNOJ, or the Anti-Fascist Council of the National Liberation of Yugoslavia, in Bihać.
After its liberation in 1945, Bosnia and Herzegovina received a flag and coat of arms, which were its recognizable and main symbols during the socialist era, until 1992 and the beginning of the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The conclusion of the ZAVNOBiH session was that Bosnia and Herzegovina, by decision at that session, was defined as a single and indivisible state in which all peoples would have the same rights. This decision was confirmed and voted on at the ZAVNOBIH session by 247 ZAVNOBIH councilors, of all Bosnian peoples.
