 Keep: You are misinterpreting the Constitution and laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • As I stated in the file under "Permission": "The National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the official national anthem of the country, does not claim copyright in the sense that it would be available for commercial use or reproduction without permission. It can be considered a public good and can be used in certain situations as free use." and "Typically, national anthems are used solely for official purposes and are not subject to the same copyright rules as commercial or artistic content. However, its use for commercial purposes, such as sale or commercial reproduction, usually requires appropriate permission or approval from the relevant authorities or authors." are the correct interpretation of the Constitution and Laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Dušan Šestić is the author (composer) of the work, but he has no copyright over that work. As stated in THIS DECISION of the Office of the High Representative (OHR) dated June 25, 1999, Article 4: "The copyright of the national anthem is retained by Bosnia and Herzegovina." So, he is the person who made the national anthem, but the owner of the work is Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • Also in the same OHR decision, Article 1 clearly states "This law establishes the National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina (hereinafter: the anthem) and determines its use as a symbol of the State." This means that this is considered a symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina, just like the FLAG, COAT OF ARMS and any other symbols, which are free to use by Wikipedia rules and laws of the country. If you delete this file, delete the flag, coat of arms and other symbols of the country because they fall under the same category BY LAW.

Please next time educate yourself about these things before making any requests and decisions. --Z1KA (talk) 13:42, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: Note that, although the author is alive, he has no copyright over the work. His name is only mentioned as the composer of the piece and nothing more. The Country, Bosnia and Herzegovina, has full rights over the work, and it is not subject to copyright law because it is a symbol of that country. All participants of the public competition for the Selection of the National Anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina were told that if their work is selected, the copyright is transferred from them to the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. --Z1KA (talk) 13:59, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
