Summary/Abstract: Naučni odbor je pripremio autorske referate za učesnike Okruglog stola “75. Godišnjica Trećeg zasjedanja ZAVNOBiH-a: uloga Trećeg zasjedanja ZAVNOBiH-a u društvenom i političkom razvoju Bosne i Hercegovine” za štampu. Program Okruglog stola sastojao se od uvodnih obraćanja i 14 referata. Redoslijed radova u ovom zborniku u najvećoj mjeri slijedi redoslijed izlaganja referata pripremljenih za Okrugli sto, koji se trebao održati krajem 2020. godine, međutim zbog nezahvalne epidemiološke situacije izazvane virusom COVID-19, nije bilo mogućnosti njegovo održavanje. Akademik Ivo Cvitković je naglasio da većina pripadnika pokreta nisu bili komunisti, ali su oni bili organizatori antifašističke borbe. Postavio je sljedeća pitanja: za šta se borio NOP, politika NOF-e; uvođenje zvanja vjerskog referenta, primjeri odnosa narodnooslobodilačkog pokreta prema slobodi religije, sloboda vjeronauke i osnivanje “vjerske komisije”? Posebnu pažnju je posvetio religiji i crkvi na Trećem zasjedanju ZAVNOBiH-a i pitanjima: vjerski službenici, diskusije u kojima se kritički osvrtalo na religiju i religijske zajednice, biranje sveštenika u ZAVNOBiH, gdje je pošlo “ukrivo”, zašto je došlo do promjena odnosa prema religiji i crkvi i začeci netrpeljivosti?

- Summary/Abstract:The transcripts from Sarajevan State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina session witness the dedication of its councilors towards the present. This implicates an intense connection of Bosnia and Herzegovina with the Yugoslavian geopolitical imaginary (B&H as a homeland within a homeland). At the same time, it develops a discourse – an indisputable one – of a unified Bosnia as a political community being built as a state. The third ZAVNOBiH session, unfortunately, did not develop enough strength to deepen and pull the true levers of the state citizenship imagined within the earlier grand freedom charter from Sanski Most. However, the epochal success of the Sarajevo session lies in its development of a territorial identity of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a socially, economically and culturally conscious space. This success is an epochal success – especially when compared with B&H’s current arrested development. Today, this country is left without its unified space, reduced to a mere territorial sum. It is also deprived of its unique trinational togetherness, reduced to a nationalistic negation of the ZAVNOBIH itself, a translation of the “3 in 1” formula into a “big, acephalous nothing”. The fact that the third ZAVNOBIH session was held in Sarajevo witnesses the building of Bosnia from the state of war to the state of peace as a political community – from the periphery of a just war (Bosnian Krajina) towards the center (Sarajevo), which used to be an extremely important symbolic and political message about its core state community. This community grew as a natural, decentralized entity, but with a clear, leading, all encompassing topos from a place (that is not Belgrade, nor Zagreb) where its unique plural identity is forged. Our only option is to proceed with forging.

- Summary/Abstract:The sovereign and autonomous political position of the People’s Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Yugoslav People’s Federation - derived from its constitutional right to self-determination, association and secession - enabled it to develop prospective political development and preserve its political status in future constitutional creations in the socialist Yugoslav state. Moreover, such political status enabled the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to seek and achieve an independent political existence - which was realized in the first half of 1992 - which subsequently received international recognition from all relevant political actors. Bosnia and Herzegovina continues to develop as a transition and post-socialist state, that is still undergoing democratic consolidation and economic transition. Although there is no consensus in Bosnia and Herzegovina on its development and political commitments in the area of foreign policy, it is evident that it should follow the already paved path of Euro-Atlantic integration, because only in this way can it ensure a pacifist perspective and secure existence for its citizens. Despite the fact that there are still disintegrating political currents, which permanently challenge and deny the historical continuity and political perspective of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it should be noted that its long existence surpasses and triumphs over the subjective narratives and expansionist arguments of its deniers.

- Summary/Abstract:Formed in extremely hard war circumstances of combat against occupiers and domestic collaborationists, since their founding, national liberation committees (NOO) were basic instruments concerning organization of armed resistance and civil life in the liberated territories. In the period of 1942-1945, throughout strengthening of national liberation movement (NOP ), organization and legal codification of NLC with decisions of National Anti-Fascist Council of the People’s Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZAVNOBiH) and Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ), a compact, uniformed, functional and hierarchically organized system of people’s governance is established in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Structure of national liberation committees, from the lowest to the highest ones, was shaped as the comprehensive system of the state governance institutional organization. This was the foundation for the future state organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Various geographical, military and economic circumstances have influenced on miscellaneous development dynamics of people’s governance and national liberation committees throughout entire Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from the second until the third assembly of ZAVNOBiH. In general perspective, in this specific period with hard war circumstances, national liberation committees have improved their inner organization and successfully developed their activities in the areas of economy, education and health. During the war, national liberation committees were recognized as the governance with great support by the people and have become the basic for shaping contemporary local self-governance system in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the war.

- Summary/Abstract:Being one of the participants in the National Liberation Struggle and the socialist revolution and as one of the most influential members of the intellectual strata, Hamdija Ćemerlić made substiantial conitbutions to these historical processes, which were of crucial importance in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The article analyzes the content of Ćemerlić’s presentation given at the Third ZAVNOBiH session while at the same time relating it to Ćemerlić’s political activities that predated this important session. The author examines the role of the socialist revolution and its institutionalization in regard to the state-making process of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Special attention is given to the criteria that played a decisive role in the consolidation process of Bosnia and Herzegovina as one of the federal units of a complex federal state body. Moreover, it discusses the determining social factors in this consolidation process with an emphasis on the international military and political aspect and the issue of political legitimate representation. The author extrapolates some important segments of Ćemerlić’s complex philosophical thoughts on law and state and stresses their actuality.

- Summary/Abstract:During the Second World War, the People’s Liberation Movement (PLM) in Yugoslavia had several goals, of which the anti-fascist fight and liberation of the country stood out, as well as the building of a new democratic people’s government, i.e. a new socio-political system. In order to understand this, one must keep in mind the historical outcomes and activities of which stand out: (1) letters from the advanced Bosnian student youth of 1937, 1938 and 1939; (2) the leftist magazine „Putokazi“ from Zagreb, which was published for three years (1937, 1938 and 1939), with a total of 13 issues, edited by Skender Kulenović and Hasan Kikić, Zijo Dizdarević, Hamid Dizdar and Safet Krupić. The editor-in-chief was Šukrija Huskić and (3) the Fifth National Conference of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia in Zagreb from 19 to 23 October 1940, which paid special attention to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Understanding the anti-fascist fight of the PLM as a permanent civilizational-existential constant, in which all peoples and nationalities led by the PLM took part, the authors focus on building a new people’s democratic government. At the same time, they emphasize that the center of the PLM was in BiH, especially in Bosnian Krajina, where historical key events were held (two sessions of the National Anti-Fascist Council of People’s Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina - ZAVNOBiH in 1943 - in Mrkonjić Grad and 1944 in Sanski Most and two sessions of the Anti-Fascist Council of the People’s Liberation of Yugoslavia - AVNOJ - in 1942 in Bihać and in 1943 in Jajce). Thus, the development of the PLM and the building of new government in BiH were directly correlated. Eminent scientists (such as academician Enver Redžić) asses that these historical events happened under the pressure of successful development of the PLM and that they would have happened without the instructions of the PLM leadership, which does not question their role at all.

- Summary/Abstract:At the First and Second Session of ZAVNOBiH, the representatives of the peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina laid the foundations of the modern statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the sessions of ZAVNOBiH, the peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina jointly created their federal unit, which became part of the federal Yugoslavia with the political will of its delegates at the Second Session of AVNOJ. The Third Session of ZAVNOBiH in Sarajevo marked the end of the state-building process in Bosnia and Herzegovina within the second Yugoslav state. ZAVNOBiH was transformed into the National Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance with legislative acts adopted at the session, while the Presidency of ZAVNOBiH turned into the Presidency of the National Assembly. Bosnia and Herzegovina also received its first post-war government. Legislation adopted at the Third Session of ZAVNOBiH, i.e. the National Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, created the independent state organisation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was equally positioned with other federal units in the Yugoslav state. An additional enhancement to the statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina was made by the adoption of the first Constitution of the People’s Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thus, immediately after the end of the Second World War, Bosnia and Herzegovina defined its internal structure by the highest legal act, in accordance with the then political and economic circumstances. It was defined as a people’s republic that conferred sovereign rights and statehood. With the adoption of the Constitution, Bosnia and Herzegovina completed the state-building process and it can be stated that from 31 December 1946, it fully existed and functioned as a state organisation. At the same time, it is necessary to not lose sight of the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina, by the will of its representatives, was part of a wider state - Yugoslavia. The sovereignty and statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina were limited by the sovereignty of the federal state. These are the sovereign rights that Bosnia and Herzegovina transferred to the FPRY, given that it was an integral part of the unified socioeconomic and political system of AVNOJ Yugoslavia.

- Summary/Abstract:During socialist Yugoslavia, in Bosnian-Herzegovinian historiography, the emancipation of women was associated with her participation in the People’s Liberation Struggle. From 1942, when the organization of the Anti-Fascist Women’s Front of Yugoslavia was formally established, until 1953, when it was abolished at the Fourth Congress, this mass organization was more or less, and even under the full influence of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, depending on political circumstances. Although this women’s organization was publicly thanked for its successful work, with the constant remark that more women and better results are expected, prominent women members, as well as women fighters and women members of the Party did not participate in the highest emerging government institution during the war, as well as postwar period. The promises of the revolutionary government during the war time were fulfilled immediately after the war by constitutional and legal solutions. Women in socialist Yugoslavia received active and passive voting rights, equal pay with men for equal work, equality in family and inheritance law, the right to divorce, the right to share marital property, the right to protection of illegitimate children, paid maternity leave, the right to guardianship, etc., with tendency to expend legislation in favor of women. However, equality between women and men was more based on legislation and less on a fundamental change in female-male relations in everyday life because it was difficult to change the stereotype of the women as a caring mother, hardworking housewife and exemplary worker – so women did not have much time to socio-political activities. In addition, women were not brave enough to get rid of the imposed restrictions.

- Summary/Abstract:One of the councillors of the third session of the State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (orig. abbrev. ZAVNOBiH; April 26-28, 1945 in Sarajevo), who participated in the preparation and work of the previous two sessions (in Mrkonjic Grad in 1943 and Sanski Most in 1944), was Avdo Humo, a writer from Mostar, an illegal and a professional revolutionary. Humo is undoubtedly one of the most important intellectuals and politicians of the 20th century in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This paper points out the key biographical data following Avdo Humo from his student days. As a graduate of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, he has been an active member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) since the mid-1930s and also an organizer of anti-fascist resistance during World War II. Humo had great merit in the process of constituting and institutionalizing Bosnia and Herzegovina as one of the six equal republics in federal Yugoslavia. After the war, he participated in numerous prominent political and social roles, both in the Republic and in the federal centre. However, Avdo Humo was politically marginalized and morally disqualified in the context of a strong wave of self-criticism within the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (LCY) in the early 1970s, during the reconstruction of the Republican leadership and the removal of the so-called spring followers and liberals, i.e. significant re-Stalinization of the system. The parting of the League of Communists of Bosnia and Herzegovina with Avdo Humo, Hajro Kapetanovic, Osman Karabegovic, and Cedo Kapor at the end of 1972 followed their sharp criticism of the dominant current, undemocratic relations, unprincipledness, firm-hand leadership, management by a narrow circle of leaders and the more. The Republican leadership assessed them as a synchronized group, as a faction within the League of Communists that cooperates with ”liberals, informers, and bearers of hegemonic tendencies” and that has ”insatiable lust for personal power in realization of dominant influence on the policy of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.” The party leadership unanimously assessed their criticism as groundless and stated that their target was the destabilization of the leadership and causing a rift within it.

- Summary/Abstract:The Third assemblage of ZAVNOBiH was held from 26th to 28th April in liberated Sarajevo, in the ceremonial hall of the former Sokolski dom. The session was attended by 155 councilors. Decisions were made at the Third session which completed the state organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the idea of ZAVNOBiH, as a national representation and bearer of the will of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina to achieve their own state development. Two historic decisions were made at the session: ZAVNOBiH grew into the National Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Presidency of ZAVNOBiH became the Presidency of the National Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina. All councilors who had a councilor’s power of attorney for the Third assemblage of ZAVNOBiH became the first deputies of the National Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The government was formed after the National Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina had adopted the Law on the National Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 27th April. With the election of the first government, federal Bosnia and Herzegovina constituted it’s executive power, and with the transformation of the Third assemblage of ZAVNOBiH into the National Assembly, the statehood of Bosnia and Herzegovina was completed, which was founded by the decisions of the First session of ZAVNOBiH in 1943. In addition, according to the official papers of this assemblage, special attention was paid to the presentation of speakers who pointed out the achievements of the National Liberation War.

- Summary/Abstract:A little bit about the relation of the National Liberation Movement (NLM) towards religion and religious communities: most members of the Movement were not Communists; the Communists were the organisers of the anti-fascist struggle; what the NLM fought for, the National Liberation Front (NLF) policy; introduction of the title of religious officers among fighters; examples of the National Liberation Movement attitude towards freedom of religion; freedom of religious education; establishment of the „Religious Commission“... On religion and the Church at the Third Session of ZAVNOBiH: religious officials at the session; analysis of discussions that critically reviewed religion and religious communities; election of priests in ZAVNOBiH. Where did it go wrong? Why have there been changes in attitudes towards religion and the Church? The beginnings of intolerance: mutual actions (of the authorities and religious communities) that led to the deterioration of relations. What bothered religious communities? What motivated authorities to change their policy and tighten attitudes towards religious communities?

- Summary/Abstract:Regardless of how we perceive and understand culture, as a system of symbolic meanings, power relations, relations among various concepts, as system of values and validations, culture always represents a tool for articulation of relations among individuals and social groups. In this context, cultural politic is shaped upon the borderline between politics and culture and their mutual influence on all aspects of social life. According to Doknić, state through its ideological and political apparatuses as politically and educationally affirmative content interiorize it in living and working environment and entirely decide about each percent on financial support for culture (Doknić, 2013: 329). In this way, as it is the case with cultural politics in this specific historical period, culture becomes unavoidable factor of entire society’s transformation, planned within the cultural politics system aimed to direct, improve and coordinate limitless cultural space (ibid). Cultural politics as intentional and planned state intervention in the cultural domain, become enormously important part of entire development and positioning of one country. That is why we can claim with certainty that the role of the third assembly of ZAVNOBiH (National Anti-Fascist Council of the People’s Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina) is very noteworthy concerning development of cultural politics in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These are ‘pioneers’ steps’ in creating the flow of cultural life in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s society in this particular historical context. This is specifically related to establishment of cultural institutions, which exist today as well and whose universal and humanistic values and aims remain unchangeable. These institutions still nurture art and cultural literacy and reading in this very turbulent and challengeable times we are living in.

- Summary/Abstract:ZAVNOBiH is an expression of the desire of the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina to live in freedom, as their own, in a community in which decisions about their lives will not be made by other but by themselves only. And that is exactly why ZAVNOBiH could have been the instigator of both the nationwide gathering under the same flag and the nationwide enthusiasm, both in the whirlwinds of the National Liberation War and after it. Actually, with the third session, ZAVNOBiH ended its life by transferring its competencies to peacetime government institutions. However, the spirit of enthusiasm it produced did not diminish in these institutions either, at least for the first twenty or so post-war years. In support of this, after all, there are the statistics - the achieved rates of economic growth, according to which Yugoslavia, and with it Bosnia and Herzegovina, of course, was at the very top of the world, then the achieved rates of employment, trends in gross domestic product, achievements in education and health and many other indicators. Have the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina forgotten the values on the wings of which the war-torn country of the 1940s and 1950s was rebuilt, from which youth work actions were fed, which radiated love instead of hatred? On an emotional level, I’m not ready to believe that. In reality, however, it is possible to mark the details that most seriously warn - not only today but all the years of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s social and political transition.

- Summary/Abstract:The crucial task of the Third Assembly of the Anti-Fascist Council of the People’s Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZAVNOBiH) was to create a framework for the establishment of further development of Bosnia and Herzegovina as federal Unit. This assembly resulted in the important acts for Bosnia and Herzegovina as a member of Yugoslav Federation such as the constitution of the first Peoples Assembly, and the Law on People’s Government based on which, two days later, April 28, 1945. the first People’s Government had been formed, etc. However, one important question remains – what kind of federation was Yugoslav socialist one? Socialist Yugoslavia looked after Soviet federation as its model which, in scientific literature, could best be described as ethnoterritorial federalism. So Yugoslavia was simultaneously understood as the federation of its peoples and its republics in which its peoples practiced their sovereign rights. Based on this double approach, the two interpretations of Yugoslav federalism developed in time: the unitary-centrist one which considered the borders of republics as administrative, and the republican-federalist one which considered republics as sovereign national states. There was also a third variant of socialist federalism developed during 1970’s – the socialist self-management federalism which delegated the political subjectivity down to the level of individual enterprises and local communities designed to undermine nationalist interpretation, but it failed to be implemented due to already strengthened etatisms. These federalist dilemmas were especially fatal for Bosnia and Herzegovina which could not have been constituted as national republic-state.
