Prosvjeta (1902)
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.

Шта су Мостар и Херцеговина значили Просвјети може да послужи и податак да је први, а до 1920. године и једини, Просвјетин дом за ђаке отворен у Мостару, 1909. године. Те године Српско-православна општина у Мостару уступила је зграду старе српске школе за Просвјетин ђачки дом. Први префект Дома био је Божидар Зечевић, а први управник Лука Грђић Бјелокосић. У периоду 1909-1914. године у њему је живјело укупно 355 Просвјетиних питомаца.
