Hej, Sloveni (also spelled Hej, Slaveni and Hej, Slovani, meaning "Hey, Slavs") has been the national anthem of Yugoslavia between 1945 and cca 1992 when versions of lyrics in Serbo-Croatian, Slovenian and Macedonian were used.

It is presently used as the anthem of Serbia and Montenegro, with lyrics by Samuel Tomasik in Serbian.

1 History

The song dates back to the mid- 19th century, when it was composed as an anthem for the Slavonic movement. It has the same basic melody as Mazurek Dabrowskiego by Michal Kleofas Oginski, the national anthem of Poland.

Between World War I and World War II, the anthem of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed Kingdom of YugoslaviaThe Kingdom of Yugoslavia was a Balkan state which existed from December 1, 1918 to mid-April 1941. History The kingdom was formed in 1918 under the name Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes ( Serbo-Croatian Kraljevina Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca Slovenian in 1929Centuries: 19th century 20th century 21st century Decades: 1870s 1880s 1890s 1900s 1910s 1920s 1930s 1940s 1950s 1960s 1970s Years: 1924 1925 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 See also 1929 in aviation 1929 in film 1929 in literature 1929 in mu) consisted of a combination of Serbian, Croatian and Slovenian traditional anthems, starting with a few measures from the Serbian anthem Bože pravde, continuing with a few lines from the Croatian anthem Lijepa našaLijepa naSa domovino (Our Beautiful Homeland) is the national anthem of Croatia. It was the anthem of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, and became that of the Republic of Croatia upon the declaration of independence in 1991. The original lyrics were writ, followed by a few bars from a former anthem of Slovenia Naprej zastava slaveNaprej zastava slave ( Slovene "Forward, Flag of Glory"), is the old Slovene national anthem. Lyrics in Slovene :Naprej zastava slave, :na boj junaSka kri, :za blagor ocetnjave :naj puSka govori! :Z orozjem in desnico, :nesimo vragu grom, :zapisat v kri p and winding up with some lines from the Serbian anthem again. After the liberation in 1945, the new federation adopted the song "Hej Sloveni".

Even though the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ceased to exist around 19911991 like 2002, is a palindromic year. It also has the same calendar as 2002, including Easter on March 31. It is a common year starting on Tuesday. Events January January 2 Sharon Pratt Dixon is sworn in as mayor of Washington, DC becoming the first blac when only Serbia and Montenegro remained in the federation, "Hej Sloveni" remained the state anthem of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and will is set to be replaced as soon as Serbia and Montenegro agree on a common anthem acceptable to both.

Should the referendum cause for the union to remain in place, a combination of the two countries' anthems, is not unlikely to take shape as the new anthem, similar to what was done before Communism. The songs are " Bože pravde" for Serbia, and " Oj, svijetla majska zoro" for Montenegro.
