Summary/Abstract: Language of the electronic mass media has become crucial in learning languages, especially within young people. Only in BiH, where there are three official languages according to the Constitution, all three (Serbian, Croatian and Bosnian) are spoken in TV news at the same time and without translation. In that way a never seen “smeltery” is made. Only some languages have profit but apparently, in long terms – every nation has losses in that “melting pot”, because spiritual substance of every language (nation) is erased and eliminated. Such appearance of short-term profit of the currently dominant language at the public TV in BiH leads to longterm elimination of all languages. The question is: if such practice is good, why Europe does not have everything else joint, e.g. army and currency… from not so long time ago (December 20, 2007) it does not have custom and border crossings (what is still necessary), but nobody has not thought of having a joint “TV News” of the European Union, as it has been imposed to people by the High representative as a true sovereign in BiH, to that small “union” of three nations?!
