Summary/Abstract: The paper shows the position and the status of Croatian language on web pages of the official BH institutions and it aims at exploring its changes. We shall check the degree of diversion of the „Croatian“ language from the unique language norm of the Croatian language, which BH Croats accept as their own. The paper is based on two surveys: the first one was conducted in 2011 and the second one in April 2014. It will be emphasised that there is a necessity for a different approach when creating and implementing the content of Croatian official internet pages. There is a strong urge for a professional cooperation between administrators of some pages and linguists. From the monitored time span it is visible how much, if at all, BH society has improved in its multiculturalism.
