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.
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 За њега сви се сад помолимо У срцу мом
само је један дом Тамо гдје су наши преци давни За њега сви се сад помолимо У срцу мом само је један дом |
Tamo gdje najljepša se zora budi Za njega svi se sad pomolimo U srcu mom
samo je jedan dom Tamo gdje su naši preci davni Za njega svi se sad pomolimo U srcu mom
samo je jedan dom |
Where the most beautiful sunrise awakens Now let's all pray for it In my heart there's only one home Where our ancient forefathers Now let's all pray for it In my heart there's only one home |
