History
The decision to establish the Croatian Embassy in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, headquartered in Sarajevo, was made by Croatian President Franjo Tuđman on September 23, 1992. However, the embassy did not open for another two years due to the siege of Sarajevo. The Embassy was opened on June 14, 1994, when Tuđman came on his first official visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Embassy was relocated to its current location on January 26, 2015.
On January 30, 2021, the European Union flag mounted on the façade of the embassy building was taken down and thrown onto the street, while the Croatian flag was not touched.
