Statehood Day is the name given to several national holidays in Central and South-Eastern Europe. In the Czech Republic it is 28 September, the feast of Saint Wenceslas, the tenth-century duke honoured as patron of the Czech lands, traditionally said to have been killed in 935. Croatia keeps 30 May, the day in 1990 when the first democratically elected multiparty parliament met, and Slovenia 25 June, the anniversary of the 1991 declaration of independence. Many Czechs use the day for pilgrimages to Stará Boleslav, where Wenceslas is believed to have been murdered.
In Lithuania, Statehood Day is 6 July, tied to the coronation of Mindaugas as king in 1253. Serbia celebrates it on 15 and 16 February, marking the first uprising against Ottoman rule in 1804 and the first Serbian constitution of 1835. Montenegro marks 13 July, linked to the recognition of the country at the 1878 Congress of Berlin and to the 1941 uprising. Bosnia and Herzegovina keeps 25 November, for the 1943 session of its wartime state assembly, ZAVNOBiH. Many of these countries also have a separate Independence Day.
