Prosvjeta (Serbian Cyrillic: Просвјета; "Enlightenment/Education") or the Serbian Cultural-Educational Society "Prosvjeta" was a Bosnian Serb cultural and educational society in Austro-Hungarian Bosnia and Herzegovina and Yugoslavia. It was founded in Sarajevo in 1902. It quickly became the most important organization gathering ethnic Serb citizens.
In 1909 the first and the only student's house of Prosvjeta was opened in Mostar and Božidar Zečević was its first prefect.[1]
In 1914, the Austro-Hungarian regime had the organization banned and its leadership imprisoned due to "anti-state" actions.
