1100th Anniversary of the Croatian Kingdom

The 1100th anniversary of Croatian Kingdom (Croatian: Tisućustogodišnjica Hrvatskoga Kraljevstva) is a cultural and media anniversary year that is celebrated in 2025 in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in other areas with Croatian population.[1]

The occasion for the celebrations is the 1100th anniversary of the Croatian Kingdom (925–1102) and the coronation of the first Croatian king, Tomislav, which is estimated to have taken place in 925.

On the initiative of the Brethren of the Croatian Dragon and independent cultural institution Matica hrvatska[2] the Croatian Parliament passed a resolution on 14 March 2024 declaring 2025 the "Year of remembrance of the Croatian Kingdom".[3] This decision was welcomed by the Government of the Republic of Croatia, Ministry of Science and Education and the Ministry of Culture and Media.[2]
