Petar Kočić statue in Banja Luka, Bronze monument in central Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The life-size bronze statue depicts Petar Kočić standing upright in the center of a park that bears his name at coordinates 44.770647, 17.188614.

Croatian sculptor Antun Augustinčić and his student Vanja Radauš created this bronze monument in 1932, marking a period of cultural development in Banja Luka.

The statue represents Petar Kočić, who wrote extensively about regional social issues and became a symbol of literary resistance in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The monument stands in Petar Kočić Park, which underwent major renovations in 2006 and now includes a music pavilion and the Staklenac catering facility.

Regular maintenance efforts preserve the statue's bronze surface, which has endured numerous historical changes since its installation, including the complete park reconstruction after World War II.
