The Order of the Golden Lily (Bosnian: Orden Zlatnog ljiljana), or simply the Golden Lily (Bosnian: Zlatni ljiljan), was a military decoration of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Bosnian War. It was given to soldiers and officers who displayed exceptional courage, bravery, and strategic skill during wartime.

Although initially, the Golden Lily was the highest war award, on April 14, 1994, the Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the Decree on Decorations, which exclusively mentions the Order of the Hero of the Liberation War as the highest award.

1,742 people were awarded the Golden Lily.[1]

Award criteria

The Rulebook, established on October 1, 1992, outlines the criteria and procedures for granting the Golden Lily War award, and other relevant matters about its bestowal. According to that rulebook, the Golden Lily award was an individual as well as a collective recognition.[2] With the adoption of the new Ordinance on awards and incentive measures in December 1992, collective awards were abolished and the only winners of collective awards are the Guards Brigade Delta and the Professional Fire Brigade Sarajevo.[2]

The Order of Golden Lily was awarded to:

"to the members of the armed forces who particularly stood out in armed opposition to the aggressor, contributed to the expansion of the free parts of the Republic, and performed several free acts in which their courage and sacrifice came to the fore, while the aggressor suffered considerable losses in manpower and material resources".[3]

Meaning

The golden lily is a thousand-year-old symbol of Bosnia, an endemic flower characteristic to the region of Bosnia (Latin: Lilium bosniacum) which was used as a symbol of purity, innocence, and beauty. Many Bosnian heroes, from noble families to the royal Kotromanić dynasty, utilized it throughout history. Lily was also a feature of Bosnian courtyards and gardens, most often sung as zambak. A lily was also engraved on the sights of the Bosnian martyrs.
