Dijalog religijskih različitosti kao osnova suživota među nacionalnim zajednicama u Bosni i Hercegovini
THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES AS THE BASIS FOR THE COEXISTENCE OF DIFFERENT ETHNIC COMMUNITIES IN BIH

Summary/Abstract: Bosnia and Herzegovina is a multilateral society and country. The Multilateral content of its population can be traced back to the early medieval centuries, and it was triggered by the meeting of different world civilizations, cultures and religions on its land. The social fractioning and antagonism that are present today in BH society and which slow down the development of our society and the country in all the possible spheres have been caused by the war happenings. The ethno-territorial model of the organization of the country does not match the historical spirit of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, there have never existed mutually separated and distanced cultures whose diversity demanded a compromise. The coexistence of the ethnic communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina has many centuries long tradition, which needs to be reaffirmed in order to overcome the existing ethnic distances, mainly caused by the influences from outside of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The role of religious communities, which have cherished the tradition of coexistence for centuries, is a very important condition for affirmation of the coexistence after the previous war happenings. In the BH society, which is multi- cultural, multi- religious and multi- national in its nature, religious communities have the greatest responsibility in the spiritual upbringing of their followers and guiding them to be tolerant of the followers of other religions. The axiom of altruism, which is present in the teachings of all monotheistic religions, demands from their followers not to do to others that which we do not want them to do to us. The interreligious dialogue is a part of the dialogue between civilizations. The interreligious dialogue is a form of dialogue that is immanent within a man as a human being. The monotheistic religions have always been for the interreligious dialogue and the coexistence of civilizations.
