Summary/Abstract: Nations and nationalisms are relatively modern terms and phenomena, primarily immanent and originally came from the cradles of Western European nations. The nations of the Western Balkans, were formed in nation term of not being able to transfer and apply literally Western European empiric of nation forming. The involvement of the Western Balkan nations in the multiethnic empires had deep consequences in that sense. Formed during the 19th century, Serbian and Croatian nations expressed aspirations towards other territories and other population, outside of those that they have been formed basically. In our case, that means towards the territory of the Bosnia and Bosnian population. In this process, which lasts from mid-19th century, the strategically perceived borders of Serbian and Croatian national state are on Bosnian territory and operationalize on the Bosnian people (Serbia towards Bosnian population that confess Orthodoxy, and Croatia towards Bosnian population that confess Catholicism). In this aspiration occurrence and processes, at least had been taken into consideration that Bosnia is multi-religious country and that it lasts through the millennium of its existence like this. This is the main reason why this process of degradation of Bosnia and splitting the Bosnian population in the three has had such disastrous results, and it has them today.
