The Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina existed as a democratic constituent republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1990 to 1992. [http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Bosnia.html] The republic retained communist symbolism as it awaited new symbols which came after independence. The republic became governed by an independence-leaning government led by Bosniak President Alija Izetbegović, however separatist Serb and Croat factions demanded independence from Bosnia, leaving the constituent republic in a fractious political environment. In 1992, the republic declared its independence from Yugoslavia. Civil war erupted immediately afterward as Bosnian Serb territories fought for separation from Bosnia.
