  • The War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Or the Unacceptable Lightness of “Historicism”
    The War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Or the Unacceptable Lightness of “Historicism” Davor Marijan War Museum, Zagreb, Republic of Croatia Abstract The author in this study does not intend to provide a comprehensive account of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in part because the cur- rent level of research does not enable this. The only way to understand this conflict is through facts, not prejudices. However, such prejudices are particularly acute amongst Muslim-Bosniac authors. They base their claims on the notion that Serbs and Croats are the destroyers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that both are equally culpable in its destruction. Relying on mainly unpublished and uncited documents from the three constitutive nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the author factually chal- lenges basic and generally accepted claims. The author offers alternative responses to certain claims and draws attention to the complexity of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which has been mainly viewed in terms of black or white. The author does, however, suggest that in considering the character of the war it is necessary to examine first the war in Croatia and the inter-relationship between the two. The main focus is on 1992 and the Muslim and Croat differences that developed into open conflict at the beginning of 1993. The role of the international community in the war and the partition of Bosnia and Herzegovina are also discussed. At the end of the 20th century in Europe and the eclipse of Communism from the world political scene, it is not easy to trace the indelible marks left behind after the collapse of Yugoslavia and the wars that ensued.

This is a class action brought by ethnic Serbs who resided in the Krajina region of Croatia up to August 1995 and who then became victims of the Croatian military assault known as Operation Storm—an aggressive, systematic military attack and bombardment on a demilitarized civilian population that had been placed under the protection of the United Nations.

  • Constitutional Aspects of the Croatian Community of Herceg-Bosna
    Book review Miljenko Brekalo (Croatia) Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar – Local center Osijek CONSTITUTIONAL ASPECTS OF THE CROATIAN COMMUNITY OF HERCEG-BOSNA Abstract The political context in which the Croatian Community of Herceg-Bosna came to be was defined by two political moments – an expressed desire of the Serbian people to join Great Serbia on the one hand and the Muslim (Bosnian) attempt to create a concept of a unified BiH where an ethnic-territorial Bosnian majority would be present on the other. In such circumstances, the official policy of the Republic of Croatia, especially the one by the first president dr. Franjo Tuđman, was unfoundedly prescribed by the Great Serbia policy and Bosnian fundamentalism with a basic thesis that he, along with Milošević, “divided” Bosnia and Herzegovina on meetings in Karađorđevo and Tikveš. However, that thesis is rebuttable on two bases. Firstly, the carriers for the idea of Great Serbia with Milošević were “armed to the neck” by the military arsenal of the JNA. Secondly, the democratic rule in Croatia with Tuđman at its forefront was very poorly armed, forced to buy very expensive weaponry on the “black market”: According to this, Milošević needed no military-political agreement on BiH. At that time, the fall of Vukovar and the occupation of one third of the national territory of Croatia point to the fact that there is no basis for the thesis on the “division” of BiH between Tuđman and Milošević. In order to better grasp the constitutional aspects of the Croatian Community of Herceg-Bosna i.e. its creation, existence and disappearance, this paper will show the legal analysis and portray the content of the book by the constitutional judge dr.

  • An Analysis of Media Coverage of ICTY Verdicts in Croatian and Serbian Media
    How (not) to reconcile: An analysis of media coverage of ICTY verdicts in Croatian and Serbian media by Sara Ana Cemazar Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Dr. Oana Lup CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates media coverage of International Criminal Court for former Yugoslavia’s verdicts in Croatia and Serbia in three cases. This Court was established to deal with atrocities committed during conflict between these two countries in the 1990-es and it set out to perpetrate the guilty. By using thematic and framing analysis on more than 250 articles in four newspapers, it can be seen that the observed verdicts to Gotovina et al., Karadzic and Prlic et al. were perceived ambivalently in two countries, which extends to the ongoing duality of narratives present in understanding common history between Croatia and Serbia. If the verdict’s outcome was perceived as favorable to the country, it was portrayed as just in the media, and vice versa. Given that this Court’s indirect aims were to individualize guilt and facilitate reconciliation, this study argues that this was not achieved. Namely, by media reporting that helped encourage collectivity of the guilt or innocence as an outcome of a verdict to an individual, reconciliation process between two nations was not made easier. CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements Since my MA Thesis marks the culmination of my education so far, I must acknowledge many people that have helped me on this way.

  • Commentary on the Judgment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) of 29 November 2017 (Case No
    Białostockie Studia Prawnicze 2018 vol. 23 nr 3 DOI: 10.15290/bsp.2018.23.03.09 Sławomir Redo Academic Council on the United Nations System [email protected] ORCID ID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2018-4217 Commentary on the Judgment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) of 29 November 2017 (Case No. IT-04-74-T)1 I. Th is criminological commentary has been rendered on the grounds of the following facts. In case of Prosecutor v. Jadranko Prlić, Bruno Stojić, Slobodan Praljak, Milivoj Petković, Valentin Ćori ć and Berislav Pusić, the six Croat alleged war criminals before the Tribunal were charged with crimes that met its Statute’s disposition concerning the alleged acting of participating in a Joint Criminal Enterprise (JCE). According to the bill of indictment, its goal was to permanently remove the Muslim population from Herceg-Bosna. All six defendants entered a ‘not guilty’ to each of the 26 off ences brought against them. In particular, all the defendants denied the displacement and/or confi nement of civilians, murder and destruction of property during attacks, ill-treatment and criminal damage during eviction operations, ill-treatment and harsh conditions in detention, the wide-spread and almost systematic use of detainees to carry out work on the frontline and even to serve as human shields at times, as well as murder and ill-treatment associated with this work and with the use of human shields and, fi nally, the displacement of detainees and their families from the territory of Herceg-Bosna following their release.

  • The Case of Croatian Wikipedia: Encyclopaedia of Knowledge Or Encyclopaedia for the Nation?
    The Case of Croatian Wikipedia: Encyclopaedia of Knowledge or Encyclopaedia for the Nation? 1 Authorial statement: This report represents the evaluation of the Croatian disinformation case by an external expert on the subject matter, who after conducting a thorough analysis of the Croatian community setting, provides three recommendations to address the ongoing challenges. The views and opinions expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation is publishing the report for transparency. Executive Summary Croatian Wikipedia (Hr.WP) has been struggling with content and conduct-related challenges, causing repeated concerns in the global volunteer community for more than a decade. With support of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, the Foundation retained an external expert to evaluate the challenges faced by the project. The evaluation, conducted between February and May 2021, sought to assess whether there have been organized attempts to introduce disinformation into Croatian Wikipedia and whether the project has been captured by ideologically driven users who are structurally misaligned with Wikipedia’s five pillars guiding the traditional editorial project setup of the Wikipedia projects. Croatian Wikipedia represents the Croatian standard variant of the Serbo-Croatian language. Unlike other pluricentric Wikipedia language projects, such as English, French, German, and Spanish, Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia’s community was split up into Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and the original Serbo-Croatian wikis starting in 2003. The report concludes that this structure enabled local language communities to sort by points of view on each project, often falling along political party lines in the respective regions.

  • The Third Entity – a Fiction? by Erich Rathfelder
    The third entity – a fiction? By Erich Rathfelder While Bosnia and Herzegovina is already dysfunctional with its two entities, the Croat Member of the Presidency, Dragan Čović, is striving for a third entity. This project is following the para-state “Herceg-Bosna,“ which was carrying out ethnic cleansing during the Bosnian War. In a first step, Čović is trying to undermine the functionality of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by an Electoral Law reform. Slowly it was calming down in the almost full small lecture hall in the Culture Centre Kosača in Mostar on October 3, 2017. The approximately 100 people present were looking curiously at the podium, where Miroslav Tuđman, the son of the first President of the Republic of Croatia, was taking place to present his new book published in 2017 in Zagreb. The former head of the Croatian Secret Service, extremely resembling his father Franjo Tuđman, had to be patient for a little while though. Because, as customary in this region, several speakers first praised the author as a brilliant analyst and a great Croatian patriot. Indeed, the mind-set of Miroslav Tuđman provides important insight into the position of Croatian nationalism in Croatia and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. His book Druga strana rubikona – politička strategija Alije Izetbegovića [The Other Side of the Rubicon – Alija Izetbegović’s Political Strategy] strives to be a settlement with the former President of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which gained its independence from Yugoslavia in the spring of 1992. But not only that: It contains a fundamental positioning of Croatian nationalism and provides the background for the current politics of the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HDZ-BiH).

Projekt je trajao godinu dana, od siječnja 2019. do siječnja 2020. Kroz projekt je prikupljena, klasificirana i analitički obrađena knjižna građa povezana s povijesno-kulturnom tematikom u knjižnici KBF-a te obrađena u sustavu COBISS. Posebna pozornost obraćena je starijoj i rijetkoj periodici.

Ključne riječi: Projekt, povijesno-kulturna ostavština, periodika, knjižnica, Katolički bogoslovni fakultet, COBISS. Uvod Već prvi pogled u depoe knjižnice Katoličkog bogoslovnog fakul- teta u Sarajevu daje dojam da ova knjižnica čuva bogatu povijesno-kultur- nu knjižnu baštinu. Pogleda li se u njezinu povijest, to postaje i razumljivo. Knjižnica je osnovana 1893. zajedno s najstarijom visokoškolskom usta- novom u Bosni i Hercegovini kojoj je bila na usluzi, Vrhbosanskim veli- kim sjemeništem, pretečom današnjeg Katoličkog bogoslovnog fakulteta. 426 Vrhbosnensia 24,2 (2020.) Vrhbosansko veliko sjemenište djelovalo je u kontinuitetu od 1893.
