Susret civilizacija. Pad Bosanskog kraljevstva (550 godina od pada srednjovjekovne bosanske države)
MEETING OF CIVILIZATIONS. THE FALL OF BOSNIAN KINGDOM (550 YEARS FROM THE FALL OF MEDIEVAL BOSNIAN STATE)

Summary/Abstract: Every historical process as its finalization has one final event that occurs on the chronological scale and marks like the boundary of its existence. Such cases are best demonstrated by striking division of past periods: ancient, medieval and modern times. Each of these epochs neither began nor ended at the same time in different geographic areas. Since medieval development arch in different countries has been running along the differential line and its descent from historical stage was limited by different parameters. In case of medieval Bosnia, these parameters were related to eighty years long process that concluded in 1463 during military campaign of Sultan Mehmed II, when this area was integrated into the Ottoman Empire. During the Ottomans centuries-long attack, Bosnia was brought on their way by the wheel of history. Bosnia disappeared in the whirlpool of historical flood, and it will wait a few centuries to be discovered again. Occupation of medieval Bosnia was a starting point for new processes, religious, cultural, political, economic and demographic that inscribed its deep engravings into many aspects of modern Bosnian-Herzegovinian life.
