NA PUTU KA NEZAVISNOSTI. REFERENDUM U BOSNI I HERCEGOVINI
ON THE WAY TO INDEPENDENCE. THE REFERENDUM IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: The multiparty elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1990, apart from the victory of national parties, also brought a new relation to the Republic. Whereas the socialist government, more or less, had a clear attitude about the integrity and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the issues were much more different within the SDA-HDZ-SDS coalition. A clear indicator for opposing views was the attempt to regard Bosnia and Herzegovina as equal to other Yugoslav republics, and the complete confrontation, first of all for SDA and SDS was the process of gaining independence which achieved its peak on 29th February and 1st March 1992 when the referendum for independence was held. The whole process, as well as the referendum results fatefully announced a bloody continuation of the battle for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
