Ratnička Bosna. Širina tolerancije Bosni daje nadu civilizacijske uzvišenosti u vremenu koje dolazi
Suffering Bosnia - The Width of Tolerance Gives Bosnia Hope of Civilizing Sublimity in the Coming Times

Summary/Abstract: The author reviews the texts of foreign writers about the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Authors, such as Susan Sontag and William Hunt have recognized in Bosnia and Herzegovina a tradition of tolerance and coexistence. Nevertheless, under the influence of negative nationalistic propaganda and sensational journalism the understanding of the Bosnian conflict outside of Bosnia has been distorted. Former US Secretary of State James Baker stated that the peoples of Bosnia “fight each other for thousands of years” and the Secretary of State in the Administration of Bill Clinton declared that Bosnia was “a cradle of conflict in Europe”. The historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina should present a rich and versatile history and able historians who will continue to research it. One of the positive moves in this regard is a volume of conference proceedings from the International scientific conference Bosnia and Herzegovina and the World, held on the 15th and 16th November 1995.
