Summary/Abstract: In 1463, after decades of pressure, the Ottoman army led by Sultan Mehmed II conquered major part of the Bosnian Kingdom and executed Bosnian King Stjepan Tomašević in what would be one of the most significant events in the Bosnian history. The event also played a major role in creating national identities among the peoples within modern Bosnia and Herzegovina. One of the goals of this paper is to illustrate, by several examples, the way present day nations in Bosnia and Herzegovina recall the 1463 events and how different state protagonists use this year in social and political processes.
