Sarajevo, the current capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics. The country is nicknamed the “Heart Shaped Land” due to the country's slight heart shape. The name “Bosnia” comes from an Indo-European word Bosana, which means water. After the Austro-Hungarian occupation in 1878, the region of Bosnia was reorganized jointly with the neighbouring region of Herzegovina, thus forming the dual name of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Law on the Proclamation of 25 November as the Statehood Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Official Gazette of R B&H, No. 9/95) stipulates that on 25 November is the Statehood Day of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina choose to commemorate the day in 1943 on which the State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZAVNOBiH) made Resolution of ZAVNOBiH declaring B&H peoples' will for Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia to be their country.
