The list of Serbian anthems includes all official and unofficial national anthems that Serbia has had throughout its history as well as regional anthems of the Republika Srpska, a constituency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The list also contains the anthem dedicated to the first Serbian archbishop and founder of the autocephalous Serbian Orthodox Church, Saint Sava.
Himna Svetom Savi and Vostani Serbije are among the first (albeit unofficial) Serbian anthems. The exact date when the anthem dedicated to Saint Sava was written is not known, while the Pesma na insurekciju Serbijanov, ie Vostani Serbije, was composed in 1804 when it was sung by the Serbian educator Dositej Obradović out of a desire to welcome the outbreak of the First Serbian Uprising. However, the first official, national anthem of Serbia was Bože pravde, written by Jovan Đorđević and composed by Davorin Jenko, which is also one of the oldest anthems in the world. Bože pravde was also the official anthem of Republika Srpska (until 2008, when the anthem Moja Republika was adopted) and Republic of Serbian Krajina. During the World War II, Oj Srbijo, mila mati was used as the de facto anthem of the Government of National Salvation of Milan Nedić during the German occupation of Serbia (1941-1944).[1]
