Summary/Abstract: The question of the role of religion causes large disagreement in the total analysis of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Many authors are inclined to connect the war in former Yugoslavia with vulgar reading out and glorification of the past of Balkan area and inexplicable pride which has been founded in ancient times. Following the pattern which was set by German sociologist Andreas Hasenclever it is possible to affirm that in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina there was strong accent on the traditional understanding of religion since Serbian political and Oriental circles today's inhabitants of Bosnia and Herzegovina present as traitors Orthodox religion. On the basis of presented facts it is possible to confirm that the symbiosis was established between political and religious leadership of Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war 1992-1995. There existed a strong connection SPC (Serbian Orthodox Church) from Bosnia and Herzegovina with SPC in Serbia and Montenegro, and also with Orthodox churches in Greece and Russia. The disturbing fact is that even after ten years from the genocide in Srebrenica the signs of remorse of representatives SPC can not be seen.
