Bosansko-hercegovačko društvo i mladi: izazovi i mogućnost crkvenog djelovanja
SOCIETY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND THE CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES FACING CHURCH YOUTH ACTIVITIES

Summary/Abstract: This article seeks to analyze society in Bosnia and Herzegovina as it affects young people, and to offer an overview of the challenges and possibilities of pastoral work with young people. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s economic, political and social transition has had a major impact on the young generation and has created new challenges for church activity. BiH society is notably multiethnic and multi-religious. The article analyses the state of interethnic and interreligious relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of wartime events in the early 1990s and in terms of the process of the return of displaced persons and refugees, and it examines where young people find themselves today. The conclusion outlines church activity toward young people in light of the pluralism of BiH society and the impact of this pluralism on young people and on church efforts to serve young people. In its efforts to serve young people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the church must develop different models of activity that are appropriate and that will be accepted by young people.
