| Title | The Question of National Identity of Bosnia and Herzegovina |
| Summary | For Bosnia and Herzegovina, the beginning of the 1990’s meant a period of nationalistic projects within the country. Three sides were created, and the relevance of ethno-religious origin was high as never before - strong attachments to ethnic and religious identities. Croats aligned with the Croat Defense Council (HVO), Serbs with the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) and Muslims with the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ArBiH). However, there were exceptions / resistance discourses to the general trend of division along ethno-national lines. It is exactly this exception I found worth investigating. Tempted by the appealing controversial quality of a research on those exceptions, and in hope to bring me closer to elements of a hypothetical, 'all encompassing' national identity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, I decided to pursue a study of non-Muslim soldiers in the Army of BiH. |
