Summary/Abstract: In this article which is based on the scientific literature and evidences from the ICTY archives, the author shows how the Serbian political elite gathered around the Serbian Democratic Party in Bosnia and Herzegovina provided support for the initiation of the process of territorial division of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that was coordinated by the political leadership of Serbia, Slobodan Milošević and his political party. Among the Serbian political elite this process was called “regionalization” but, unlike the process that started in Europe at the end of the Cold War characterized by social and economic cooperation between regions and European states, “regionalisation” was intended to serve to national policies of division and closure, with the aim of creating a single-national Serbian state.
