Od mita regije do "države na silu": Metamorfoze u Bosni i Hercegovini
From the Myth of Region to "Enforced State": Metamorphoses in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: Bosnia and Herzegovina serves as an an example of regions capable of living both under its national and supra-national wings. If a multi-ethnic region, such as Bosnia and Hercegovina has been in the course of its history, wants to achieve harmony, it is vitally important that it has the foundations for dual, whereby regional identity must be supported by supra-regional identity, which is, reciprocally, compatible with it. If these double wings get broken, the region risks to be broken as well. The same works the other way around: the establishment of complex or federal states helps regions like Bosnia and Hercegovina to survive. This is an argument for the thesis that the integration of Europe into one big region is linked to the revitalisation of old (and creation of new) regions. Multi-culturality and regionalism are not inevitably doomed to fail; instead, they can gain new perspectives and chances through the transnational integration processes in Europe
