paja Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Greetings Ilja and thank you for reviving this topic, I've been meaning to start a new topic on decorations of Republic of Srpska for some time, this is an excellent "excuse". In 1993 Republic of Srpska introduced the following orders: 01. Order of Republic of Srpska (Орден Републике Српске) 02. Order of Nemanjić (Орден Немањића) 03. Karageorge Star (Карађорђева звијезда) 04. Order of Miloš Obilić (Орден Милоша Обилића) 05. Order of Njegoš (Орден Његоша) 06. Charity Cross (Крст милосрђа) Medals: 01. Medal of Petar Mrkonjić (Медаља Петра Мркоњића) 02. Medal of Milan Tepić (Медаља Милана Тепића) 03. Medal for Merits Towards the People (Медаља заслуга за народ) 04. Medal for Bravery - Gavrilo Princip medal (Медаља за храброст - Медаља Гаврила Принципа) 05. Medal for Military Merits (Медаља за војне заслуге) 06. Medal for Military Virtues (Медаља за војничке врлине) I believe that three more orders were instituted later but I was not able to determine when exactly. Those are: 01. Order of the Flag of Republic of Srpska (Орден заставе Републике Српске) 02. Order of St. Petar Zimonjić (Орден светог Петра Зимоњића) 03. Order of Honor (Орден части) Edited July 4, 2013 by paja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
