The Republic of Srpska was established on January 9, 1992, by the decision of the Assembly of the Serbian People in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It endured through a heroic struggle for survival from 1992 to 1995. It achieved international recognition through the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, signed on November 21, 1995.

We thank the students of the Faculty for their participation in the celebration of Srpska Day.

WE CONGRATULATE THE CITIZENS OF SRPSKA ON THE 32nd BIRTHDAY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SRPSKA!
