Bože pravde
Bože Pravde ( God of Justice ) is the national anthem of Serbia. The text was written in 1872 by Jovan Ðorđević and the music of Davorin Jenko.
Bože Pravde was only with the adoption of a new constitution on 30 September 2006 on the official Serbian national anthem. Before that, the anthem was used by the Republic and its institutions since the legally non-binding " recommendation on the use of the arms, the flag and the anthem of the Republic of Serbia " by the Serbian National Assembly on 17 August 2004.
Bože Pravde was the national anthem of the Kingdom of Serbia (1882-1918) and part of the tripartite National anthem of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (1918-1945 and since 1929 Kingdom of Yugoslavia ), which was composed of the then National Anthems of Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. Therefore, Serbia used today one of the republican form of government adapted version of the text without monarchist references.
