On Sunday Bosnia-Herzegovina marked its Independence Day, but the lingering ethnic division between the three main nationalities Bosnian Muslim, Croats, and Serbs overshadowed the public holiday. The Serb Republic entity ignored the celebration as in previous years because the Independence Day was celebrated in the Muslim-Croat entity. The Bosnian Serb leadership refuses to accept March 1st as a national holiday. The Independence Day is in memory of a 1992 referendum at which citizens of the then Socialist Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina voted for severing ties with the then Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
I feel that the Bosnian Serbs are just being “hard-headed”. They are still unhappy about what happen in 1992 and need to stop being bitter. The Independence Day should be celebrated by everyone because the fact is that there is not an independent Bosnia-Herzegovina.

I am a kid looking at this article for a school current events. I do not know much about the Bosians or serbs however, i learned from this article. It is well writen and short. I think that maybe things will improve. However the probelem with the three main nationalities Bosnian Muslim, Croats, and Serbs is still growing.In 1992 of a "referendum at which citizens of then Socialist Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina voted for severing ties with the then Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia"Why did they vote Socialist? Also a comment about Bosnian Serbs are just being “hard-headed” they should not be still mad over something that happened in 1992. Anyway, happy indepdence day!
