The Congress of Bosniaks of North America (CBNA) wishes a happy Independence Day to all citizens and friends of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnia) both at home and abroad.
Thirty-plus years after the referendum, the principles affirmed on that day remain as relevant as ever. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s independence is not only a legal and political fact; it is a testament to the resilience of its people and their enduring commitment to a multiethnic, democratic society rooted in dignity, coexistence, and respect for human rights.
For Bosniak-Americans and friends of Bosnia and Herzegovina across North America, this day carries special meaning. It reminds us of our shared responsibility to preserve the truth about Bosnia’s past, to support its stability and prosperity in the present, and to help secure a peaceful and Euro-Atlantic future for generations to come.
The Congress of Bosniaks of North America remains firmly committed to strengthening the bonds between the United States and Bosnia and Herzegovina, advancing policies that reinforce Bosnia and Herzegovina’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and uplifting the voices of our community in the public square.
On this Independence Day, we honor the courage of those who stood for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s independence, we remember all who defended its sovereignty, and we reaffirm our collective commitment to a strong, unified, and democratic Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Happy Independence Day, Bosnia and Herzegovina!
Povodom Dana nezavisnosti Bosne i Hercegovine
Kongres Bošnjaka Sjeverne Amerike (KBSA) čestita dan nezavisnosti svim građanima i prijateljima Bosne i Hercegovine širom svijeta!
Više od tri decenije nakon referenduma, principi potvrđeni tog dana ostaju jednako važni kao i tada. Nezavisnost Bosne i Hercegovine nije samo pravna i politička činjenica; ona je i svjedočanstvo otpornosti njenog naroda te trajne opredijeljenosti za multietničko, demokratsko društvo utemeljeno na dostojanstvu, suživotu i poštivanju ljudskih prava.
Za Bošnjake u Sjevernoj Americi i prijatelje Bosne i Hercegovine širom kontinenta, ovaj dan ima posebno značenje. Podsjeća nas na zajedničku odgovornost da čuvamo istinu o prošlosti Bosne i Hercegovine, da podržimo njenu stabilnost i prosperitet danas, te da pomognemo osigurati mirnu i euroatlantsku budućnost za generacije koje dolaze.
Kongres Bošnjaka Sjeverne Amerike ostaje čvrsto posvećen jačanju veza između Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i Bosne i Hercegovine, zagovaranju politika koje učvršćuju suverenitet i teritorijalni integritet Bosne i Hercegovine, te osnaživanju glasa naše zajednice u javnom prostoru.
Na ovaj Dan nezavisnosti odajemo počast hrabrosti onih koji su stali u odbranu nezavisnosti Bosne i Hercegovine, sjećamo se svih koji su branili njen suverenitet i potvrđujemo našu zajedničku opredijeljenost za snažnu, jedinstvenu i demokratsku Bosnu i Hercegovinu.
Sretan Dan nezavisnosti Bosne i Hercegovine!
