Summary/Abstract: The paper presents some crucial similarities and differences between Bosniacs (slavonic Muslims) from Bosnia and from Kosovo (both in former Yugoslavia). The ethnonym Bosniac (Bošnjak), recently widely accepted among post-yugoslavian Slavs-Muslims, doesn’t need any explanation if used with references to the part of Bosnian population. The case of Goran Bosniacs demands however a more detailed approach.
