Moja Republika (en|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.
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" as a contender, though ultimately it was not chosen.
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]
The full song consists of six stanzas, but usually only the first three (in bold) are performed on public occasions for reasons of brevity.
