Statehood Day is the name given to several national holidays in Central and Southeastern Europe. In the Czech Republic it falls on 28 September, which is also the feast of Saint Wenceslas, the tenth-century duke honoured as a patron of the Czech lands. In Croatia it is 30 May, which commemorates the first multiparty parliament in 1990, and in Slovenia it is 25 June, the anniversary of the 1991 declaration of independence. Czechs also use the day for pilgrimages to Stará Boleslav, where Wenceslas is said to have been killed in the 930s.
In Lithuania, Statehood Day is 6 July and commemorates the coronation of Mindaugas as king in 1253, which is taken as the founding of the Lithuanian state. Serbia celebrates it on 15 February, marking the first uprising against Ottoman rule in 1804 and the first constitution of 1835, and Montenegro observes it on 13 July, linked to the 1878 recognition of the country at the Congress of Berlin and to the 1941 uprising. In Croatia, the day also remembers the first free elections. Many of these countries also have a separate Independence Day, so the two should not be confused.
