To me the second one is more majestic and has an easy chorus to chant, so it is more suitable for national anthem

I agree

Both are better than the one Bosnia has now, which is ironically from a movie called "Animal house" and is even more ironically called "Intermezzo" (intermezzo to war?). Also, Jedna si Jedina is way too soft.

Sure the second one is more majestic but the first one seems to be the most culturally relevant to be Bosnia's anthem, it's dark, a bit chaotic, makes me think of Montenegro & Turkey anthems and Soviet Communist music.

The second song sounds like "jeb**i cemo vam mater" repeated several times with a different tempo, a really vulgar anthem not suitable for Bosnia.
Like "jebati jebati jebati cemo....." damn who the hell would want this as an anthem?

I think Bosnia should be the first nation to have a rocknroll anthem. This tune with proper lyrics would be awesome.

I think that saying this you are prone to hyperbole or intentional exaggeration

That would be probably the first rockn'roll anthem with magic accordeon sound. Why not risk such an experiment?

I'm not exagerating Veneda, that Slovak compositor wrote some naughty song, I didn't want to believe it then I listened to it several time and each time it was more and more insulting.

Anyway, Sarajevo was the rock capital of Yugoslavia, it would be normal we have some rocknroll anthem and yeah Bosnians do even play accordion in rock songs...Are you jaleous Polack, where are your accordions

I hear no accordions except Bosnian ones...

Ovo je Bosnia, ovo je Bosnia
Nikada nije bila ljepša i ponosnija
Dis iz Bosnia, Bosnia
Ju mast lav jor femili end bi najs tu komšija

Ok, I wasn't aware of that. It is hard to believe, anyway

Sometimes acordeon is present in our music (here performed in Polish and Ukrainian), but yeah, it is not often
