"Jedna si jedina" was the national anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina between 1992 and 1998.

The music was taken from the old Bosnian folk song "S one strane Plive" ("On the far bank of the Pliva river" or "On the other side of the Pliva river"), and the lyrics were written by music star Edin Dervišhalidović. It was adopted in November 1992, several months after independence in March 1992. A new anthem - "The National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina" - was adopted in 1999. "Jedna si jedina" is still considered by some people to be the real anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
