The Ministry of Defence of Republika Srpska (Serbian: Министарство одбране Републике Српске) was the entity-level department responsible for defence policy, mobilisation, and administrative support to the armed forces of Republika Srpska between 1992 and 2005. It was established by the entity authorities in April 1992. It functioned throughout the wartime period (1992-95) in conjunction with the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS), and was abolished during state-level defence reforms culminating in the formation of the unified Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2005-06.
