Oduzimanje imovine Islamske zajednice u Bosni i Hercegovini od završteka Drugog svjetskog rata do 1961. godine
THE EXPROPRIATION OF PROPERTY OF THE ISLAMIC COMMUNITY IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AFTER THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR UNTIL 1961

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of unpublished archival sources, this paper explains the causes, progress and the scale of the expropriation of property of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the end of the Second World War Yugoslavia hastily passed acts of law which limited the property of religious communities, including the Islamic Community. The new government did not respect specific elements of the religious communities treating them exactly the same as other landowners and private entrepreneurs. Until 1961 the communist government adopted a set of legal rules on the basis of which the state started to repossess the property of the Islamic Community through legal mechanisms of confiscation, nationalisation, sequestration and expropriation. This text focuses on the presentation and analysis of the statistic data of the Committee for religious issues, which provide information on the expropriation of the property of the Islamic Community on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
