Herceg Bosna is used poetically in the song and aside from the mention of it in the refrain, is not really about it.

Croatian Leaders Sing Praises for Herzeg Bosnia

At an official event, the Croatian political leadership sang a song penned by controversial nationalist singer Marko Perkovic “Thompson”, which celebrates the unrecognised 1990s Croat-lead Herzeg Bosnia.

As a part of the celebration of Croatia’s Armed Forces Day, organised in Vatroslav Lisinski concert hall in Zagreb on Monday, the whole political leadership sang a song celebrating the unrecognised 1990s Croatian Republic of Herzeg Bosnia.

After the national anthem, the organiser of the ceremony played the popular patriotic song Lijepa li si (“You are beautiful”) penned by controversial nationalist Croatian singer Marko Perkovic, aka “Thompson”. His concert was recently banned in the Slovenian city of Maribor, causing an outcry from Croatian authorities.

Thompson’s concert in Slovenia – as well as in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and cities in Croatia and Bosnia – was banned after people protested his alleged association with nostalgia for the facist Croatian World War II Ustasa movement.

In its chorus, the song salutes the different Croatian regions, as well as the Croat-led entity Herzeg Bosnia.

Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic, parliament chair Gordan Jadrokovic and several different ministers – all current or former members of the governing centre-right Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ – sang the song together.

In recent year’s Croatia’s foreign policy has turned much of its attention on Bosnia, advocating, on the sidelines, for a Croat-led entity in Bosnia – as a part of the changing the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement. Many see the Croat entity as a revival of Herzeg Bosnia.

President Grabar Kitarovic repeated the idea during the Brussels NATO summit on Thursday, while she emphasised on multiple occasions alleged threats of “radicalisation” and terrorism in Bosnia.

In November 1991, with the war starting in Croatia (before it started in Bosnia), Bosnian Croats founded the Croatian Community of Herzeg Bosnia, as special territory controlled by Croatia, under the auspices of Croatia. In August 1993 it was declared a republic – although it was never internationally or internally recognised.

With its armed forces, the Croatian Defence Council, HVO, it first fought alongside Bosniaks against Bosnian Serbs and the Yugoslav People’s Army, JNA. However, in late 1992 a conflict started between Croats and Bosniaks, with massive war crimes committed on both sides, ending with a US-brokered ceasefire, the Washington Agreement, in March 1994.

Herzeg Bosnia’ six highest political and military officials were sentenced by the Trial Chamber of The Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY, in 2013 to 111 years for war crimes committed against Bosniaks civilians between 1992 and 1994.

The court established the existence of a joint criminal enterprise between highest Herzeg Bosnia’s and Croatian officials – Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, Defence Minister Gojko Susak and chief of the general headquarters Janko Bobetko – which used ethnic cleansing to create a greater Croatia, that would include parts of Bosnia.

The final judgement on the case will be given in November.

But it wasn't final judgment. It's just the first instance verdict.
