Stav političke elite o nacionalnom identitetu muslimana u Bosni i Hercegovini sredinom 1960-ih godina
Political Elite's Views on the Issue of National Identity of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina in mid-1960s

Summary/Abstract: Debates on the national identity of Bosniaks were initiated in the beginning of the 1960s within the structures of political establishment, yet they were soon ended and transferred to the sphere of science, so that, first as the undoubtedly proven Bosniak national identity in the academic circles, and only then as a scientifically proven fact, it returned to the political sphere whose task was to simply accept what had already been proven by academic circles. Among the leading figures of the ruling elite at the moment of launching and throughout these debates were Cvijetin Mijatović, Branko Mikulić, Džemal Bijedić, who were joined by Hamdija Pozderac in the beginning of the 1970s. Among intellectuals who participated actively from the mid-1960s in the campaigns aimed at the national affirmation of Bosniaks the figures of particular prominence were Muhamed Hadžijahić, Atif Purivatra, Kasim Suljević, Mustafa Imamović and Muhamed Filipović. All of them contributed with their academic work to the affirmation of Bosniak national identity.
