Izazovi popisa stanovništva u Bosni i Hercegovini (Društveni znaĉaj i politikantske manipulacije)
Challenges Created by the B-H Census (Social Implications and Petty-Political Manipulations)

Summary/Abstract: If properly prepared and carried out, the census provides a reliable insight into the current state of society, starting with its biological potential (birth rate, mortality, age structure) and ending with the material indicators pointing to the population’s possessions and what they do for a living. On the strength of gathered indicators, programs of social development are being devised and errors committed by previously adopted development strategies corrected. Therefore, all regulated societies continuously carry out (usually every ten years) the census. Unfortunately, carrying out a consensus turned to be a problem in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is precisely the matter dealt with in this paper. The various obstructions of conducting the census were used, especially when it comes to of displaced persons - Bosniaks in the Republic of Srpska, with the aim to demonstrate the national density in that entity as much as it could be done.
