Honour Unit (Republika Srpska)
The Honour Unit of Republika Srpska (Почасна јединица Републике Српске, Počasna jedinica Republike Srpske) is a specialized military unit within the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically under the command of the Republika Srpska component. Its primary function is ceremonial and involves representing Republika Srpska at various state and military events. The unit participates in parades, official receptions, wreath-laying ceremonies, and other public displays.
While integrated into the unified Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina as per the Dayton Agreement, the Honour Unit retains a distinct identity and uniform reflecting its connection to Republika Srpska. The unit's structure and activities are often a subject of political sensitivity within Bosnia and Herzegovina, reflecting the complex ethnic and political dynamics stemming from the Bosnian War. Its existence and activities are overseen by the Ministry of Defence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but with considerations for the traditions and representation of Republika Srpska. Details regarding its specific operational capabilities beyond ceremonial duties are generally not publicly available. The unit's personnel are drawn from soldiers serving within the Republika Srpska component of the Armed Forces.
