The Conference was organised by: the Institute for History of the University of Sa- rajevo (Sarajevo); Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (Regensburg), Research Centre for the Humanities of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Buda- pest), Institute for Balkan Studies and Thracology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sci- ences (Sofia), Institute for National History (Skopje), Institute for Contemporary History (Ljubljana), Croatian Institute for History (Zagreb) and the Center for South- east European Studies at the University of Graz (Graz). Over 120 papers, which will be published in a special edition of conference proceedings, were presented at the conference. The conference itself was held in an atmosphere of great political and media pressure, prevailingly led by the media in Serbia as well as by some circles in Bosnia and Herzegovina itself. Contrary to the usual diplomatic conduct, the Embas- sy of the Republic of France to Bosnia and Herzegovina and its ambassador Roland Gilles, were actively involved in their campaign against the Conference during its preparation, which resulted in the fact that the Conference did not receive any finan- cial support, while obstacles, such as allegations that the conference involving the «countries that were defeated in the First World War» was to be organised in Saraje- vo, spread by some academic circles in Serbia and France, speaks more about their compliance with political influence, rather than of attitudes that could have changed the scientific character of the conference. This issue of Contributions Prilozi includes some of the articles that elaborate the theme of the Sarajevo Assassination Centennial. Two articles (Mustafa Imamović and Vera Katz) were published earlier, and one (Horst Haselsteiner) was written es- pecially for this review. In his article, Imamović demonstrates how, at the beginning of the 1970ies, a new interpretation of the Sarajevo Assassination started emerging, while James Lyon and Horst Haselsteiner have offered their depictions of the situ- ation and circumstances in Sarajevo on the eve of the Assassination.

Once again, I would emphasise that this is only a small selection from the papers presented at the Conference, the selection we wanted to share with our readers before the complete conference proceedings are published. Husnija Kamberović Editor-in-Chief 6 Husnija Kamberović, Commemoration of the First World War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Prilozi • Contributions, 43, Sarajevo, 2014, 7-15 UDK 323.285:94](497.15)“1914“ COMMEMORATION OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Husnija Kamberović Institute for History, University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Hercegovina Abstract: This paper discusses about different events organised in Bos- nia and Herzegovina during 2014 concerning the commemoration of the First World War: academic conferences, ‘mega-spectacles’ - A Century of Peace After the Century of Wars, The Rebel Angels, the concert of the Vi- enna Philharmonic, the role of the the Embassy of France in Sarajevo and a Foundation called “Sarajevo Heart of Europe” and different exhibits in mu- seums in Sarajevo. One hundred years after the beginning of the First World War, the most prom- inent event in popular memory of the war was the assassination of the Habsburg Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie in Sarajevo on June 29, 1914. Most public manifestations commemorated that single event. Amid an atmosphere of po- litical tensions and deep divisions, the focus of war memories on the assassination enhanced tensions and deepened differences in society, defying organizers’ hopes of sending messages of peace and integration. During 2013 and in the first half of 2014, conflicts over the manner of commemoration intensified as different groups, driv- en by political and financial motives, sought to impose their concepts on the plan- ning of events. In the end, several separate commemorations were held. Some were supported by the European Union; others were supported by the neighboring Repub- lic of Serbia and the authorities of entity of Republika Srpska; and still others were organized independently of outside sponsorship or with minimum support from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fragmented character of the commemo- 7 Husnija Kamberović, Commemoration of the First World War in Bosnia and Herzegovina Prilozi • Contributions, 43, Sarajevo, 2014, 7-15 rative events attests to social divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and its weak cen- tral state more than to the anniversary itself. The fragmentation of memorial events is the result of the weakening of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent years as well as some processes that have taken place over a much longer period. Under- standing this fragmentation requires a brief history of commemorations since the as- sassination of 1914. No significant commemorations were organized in the immediate aftermath of the First World War, since the Sarajevo assassination was perceived as the trigger of that war. However, after Gavrilo Princip’s mortal remains were relocated from Czechoslovakia to Sarajevo in 1920, conditions gradually developed for public events memorializing the war. No commemorations or public fanfare attended the reburial of Princip’s remains in the Old Orthodox Cemetery in Sarajevo in 1920. Not until early 1930 was a bronze commemorative plaque installed at the assassina- tion site, again without public fanfare. The inscription
