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?
