Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the attitude of the RS political elite towards the resolution of the so-called Bosnian crisis, noting several coexisting approaches. National independence and secession, unification with the motherland, a confederate status, return of abducted jurisdictions, defence of the Dayton status quo and so on – these are just some of the possible options. The author exposes their political implications in a comparative manner, discussing their advantages and disadvantages. In the conclusion he suggests that some of these are primarily tactical, while some are strategic, and that the practical and political discourse should not be confused with the theoretic and political one. As an example of the latter, which does not have to take into account the political correctness and international opportunism, he mentions the attitude of the RS towards its historical founders and their public cover-up.
