Jedna i Jedina

Jedna i Jedina (One and Only) was formerly the national anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Written and composed by music star Dino Dervishalidovic, it was adopted in November 1995, several months after independence in February 1994. However, because of Jedna i Jedina's close association with the Bosniak community (and perceived exclusion of the Croat and Serb communities), a new anthem--Intermeco--was adopted in 1998.
