Summary/Abstract: Similarly, as in cases of war crimes and crimes against humanity for which it is necessary to establish cumulative conditions applicable to the existence of armed conflict within which they were committed, the revision of the assessment of the nature of conflict being the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina and its relativization are of the paramount relevance in the process of equal redistribution of different aspects of responsibility between all the actors, and ultimately all the national communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This process, whose obvious and daily progression in a broad social spectrum is achieved within several motivationally different and synergically strong tendencies, does not have a benign nature and it does not suggest the assumptions of such societal development that could overcome past contradictions and conflicts. To that end, it is important to highlight different forms of this phenomenon and maintain, in the public discourse, the awareness about the genuine content and meaning of the notion of aggression, structure and responsibility of the executors, particularly in terms of responsibility for the committed crimes. We shall highlight in this paper some aspects of the denial and relativization of the aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina, and remind of the international definition of the aggression and in relation to this suggest some concrete indicators of its. Historic reality, particularly in the territory of Sarajevo.
