Bošnjaci u Republici Srpskoj – između čekića i nakovnja
BOSNIAKS IN REPUBLIKA SRPSKA - BETWEEN HAMMER AND ANVIL

Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, Bosniaks in Bosnian and Herzegovinian entity Republika Srpska are probably the most obvious example of deprivation of rights of an autochthonous ethnic group in Europe. After a thousand years of continuity of multiethnic life, Bosnia and Herzegovina seems to be quite advanced on its way of break-up, or at least irreversible ethnic division. Decades of continuous policy of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s splitting, in order to realize the great state plans of nationalist policies of neighbouring countries and the creation of a Greater Serbia and Greater Croatia, as pure ethno-national creations - is near to be completed. Witnesses to that are Bosniaks who (still) live in entity Republika Srpska. Their survival and constantly “melting” in the places where they were the majority for centuries, in Banja Luka, Bijeljina, Prijedor, Višegrad, Srebrenica, continuous devastation of their history, culture, customs, open discrimination to which they are exposed and indifference of Bosniak political elites and state structure towards their fate, hitting the last nails in the coffin of the Bosnian ideas in this part of the country. Republika Srpska today is a fortress of the idea, ethno-clerical feud that provides a high degree of religious and political uniformity and continuation of Milošević and Karadžić war politics by other means. Redrawing and reckless falsification of history, constantly insulting the Bosniaks and the denial of their rights, glorification of crime and criminals, fostering the hate towards Bosnia and the idea of living together, connect with Serbia in all segments, with the tacit assisting foreign centres of power and closing the eyes of the Bosnian political elite, which all contributed that Bosnia lives here less and less. It is a matter of time when this will happen to Bosniaks too.
