Towards separation

The Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was renamed the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina on April 8, 1992,[1] losing the adjective "Socialist".[1] It established a multi-party system and began moving towards a democratic transition and to a liberal market capitalist economic system. The republic retained Socialist symbolism as it awaited new symbols, which came after separation. The republic became governed by a separatist government led by Bosnian president, Alija Izetbegović. However separatist Serb factions demanded secession from Bosnia and Herzegovina, leaving the constituent republic in a fractious political environment. In 1992, after serious disagreements of three leading ethnic political parties about the future of the republic, by the referendum of the Majority voters, of the three constitutional peoples, the government of the republic declared its independence from Yugoslavia, and the Serb ethnic party started military attacks. They divided cities, and villages by ethnic lines. They had help from S.R. Serbia, and S.R. Montenegro so they formed a new nation called the Republic of Yugoslavia.
