Moja Republika (Serbian Cyrillic: Моја Република, English: My Republic) is the regional anthem of Republika Srpska, an entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was written and composed by Mladen Matović and replaced the previous regional anthem Bože pravde, which was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2006. Performance of Bože pravde in military parades persists.

History

During the selection process for a new regional anthem in 2008, Bosnian national anthem composer Dušan Šestić along with fellow Bosnian musician Benjamin Isović submitted an entry called "Мајко земљо" (English: "Mother Earth") as a contender, though ultimately it was not chosen.^{[citation needed]}

On 16 July 2008 "Moja Republika" replaced the previous regional anthem "Bože pravde", which was declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2006.^[1]

Lyrics

The full song consists of six stanzas, but usually only the first three (in bold) are performed on public occasions for reasons of brevity.

Тамо гдје најљепша се зора буди
Часни и поносни живе добри људи
Тамо гдје се рађа нашег сунца сјај
Горд (Стамен) и пркосан је мој завичај

За њега сви се сад помолимо
Другу земљу ми немамо

У срцу мом само је један дом
У срцу велика моја република

Моја република, Република Српска 𝄇

Where the most beautiful sunrise awakens
There live good people, honourable and proud,
Where the shine of our sun is being born
There is my homeland - proud (strong) and defiant.

Now let's all pray for it
We have no other land.

In my heart there's only one home
My republic is great in heart
𝄆 In my heart the most beautiful star shines
My republic, Republika Srpska 𝄇

Where our ancient forefathers
had written their names in every glorious step,
Where the shine of our sun is being born
There's my homeland - stout and defiant.

Now let's all pray for it
We have no other land.

In my heart there's only one home
My republic is great in heart
𝄆 In my heart the most beautiful star shines
My republic, Republika Srpska 𝄇
