Bože pravde
2004Aug, 17

The National Assembly of Serbia unanimously adopts new state symbols for Serbia: Bože pravde becomes the new anthem and the coat of arms is adopted for the whole country.

"Boe pravde" (Serbian Cyrillic: , Serbian pronunciation: [be prde], "God of Justice") is the national anthem of Serbia, as defined by the Article 7 of the Constitution of Serbia. "Boe pravde" was the state anthem of the Kingdom of Serbia until 1919 when Serbia became a part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. It was re-adopted as the national anthem at first by the parliamentary recommendation on the use in 2004 and then constitutionally sanctioned in 2006, after Serbia restored its independence.
