Summary/Abstract: The role of religion in Bosnia is known from the history of development of Medieval Bosnian State. ln that light combats between Catholic and Bosnian Church can bee seen, as well as the tendency which appeared in the earlier phase of development of Bosnian State, tendency of achieving the religious unity by prevailing "Bogumil" religion and pushing Catholicism into the back-ground. In the later period of development of Bosnian State, especially during the rule of the latest Bosnian kings, the opposite tendency appeared-expelling Bogumils for the benefit of Catholicism. Bosnia realized that in its fight against Turks the Kingdom could be saved only by Western support. The West had its own interests in the East, and it was counting on Christian coalition headed by renewed popery.
