I traveled the length and breadth of Bosnia, and convinced that Bosnia is not a multilingual environment. In towns and villages people speak the same language, although we nobles, damn their souls, constantly trying to convince us to speak different languages and they are irreconcilable differences between us. In doing so, it is debatable whether Bosnia and Herzegovina a multinational environment.Determinants of Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks can, with almost hundred percent certainty, used as a synonym for religion, instead of the word Orthodox, Catholic, Muslim, and our language.
HISTORICAL REVIEW
In the history of Bosnia's multi-faith coexistence stubbornly survived, whereas in the uniformity of Serbia prevailed. In medieval Serbia, the law required religious exclusivity and intolerance, because the ruling orthodox religion is not tolerated the existence of other religions. In medieval Bosnia were living together Catholics, Orthodox, and Bogomils.While the raging religious persecution Raska, Bosnia shelter people of different faiths. While Stefan Nemanja haunted our ancestors, good Kulin they provided shelter. Who is looking for the freedom of our people, so he went to Bosnia. The Raska ruled samodržavlje and religious persecution. During his reign the Muslims, however, proved more tolerant than the Orthodox. Although the late Middle Ages, Muslims in this region came as conquerors, one fact is indisputable - they allow that other religions exist and Orthodox churches remain throughout centuries. The Ottoman system of religious pluralism is definitely a step in civilization than religious exclusivity Nemanjic Serbia. Despite this, the Serbs in the nineteenth century, from its statehood until such insurrection, destroyed almost all the mosques in the area of the former principality of Serbia. Thus, in Uzice destroyed 34 mosques, 24 in Smederevo, Belgrade, and dozens of them. Similar pattern was repeated during the war in Bosnia. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the cradle of our common language. Language of the medieval Serbian state, which we know mainly through royal charters and religious writings, is very different from today's Serbian language. Language of medieval Bosnia and Hum, which we know through the tombstones with inscriptions, is quite similar to the language that we speak today, and mostly understandable without translation.This is not surprising if one takes into account that it was the Viennese literary speech Herzegovina agreement 1850th The set of common literary language of the Serbs and Croats (and other southern Slavs), known as Serbo-Croatian language. The Herzegovinian speech rests the whole linguistic reform of Vuk Karadzic, on the basis of which they are incurred contemporary Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin language standard. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the cradle of the partisan resistance. During the Second World War, Bosnia and Herzegovina represented the center of resistance to the nationalist frenzy and inter-ethnic extermination. While in Serbia and Croatia prevailed extreme nationalist forces in Bosnia, partisans successfully led the fight against the fascists and quislings to reunite the dismembered country.Igman, Kozara, Neretva, Sutjeska, Jajce, Drvar, are just some of toponyms, which resemble the persistent struggle of our peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Perhaps the fatal error was that the Partisans were taken after the liberation of Belgrade, not a multinational Sarajevo, the capital of Yugoslavia. WAR IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA no secret that the Serbian Republic of Serbia has created, when in 1992. sent in the army, special forces and volunteers, and incited, organized and armed Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Whole areas are a multicultural country military adjudication, and declared ethnically cleansed Serbian territory. The so-called. Serbian Republic, the creation of a sad attempt to be srpskija of Serbia itself, an indicator of the immaturity of our common life, respect for neighbor and accepting differences. This pathological condition has resulted in terrible persecution and massacres of our brethren inoverne that history remembers as the Bosnian genocide. During the war in the territories under Serbian control systematically destroyed mosques. Remarkable example of the Banja Luka, in which all the city's mosque (them were) destroyed the cooperation of city authorities, although not in any direct military actions. On the other hand, in Sarajevo, which has for years been under Serbian siege, though some Serbian churches are destroyed (some due to the Serbian shelling), they are not systematically destroyed! in Bosnia has not ended the war in Bosnia has been frozen conflicts. It's just a cursory glance at the inter-entity border of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to see that this is just frozen front lines in the fratricidal civil war. The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina was never completed.Today the water through a policy that again tomorrow could escalate armed.Bosnia needed a durable, just and sustainable peace. The so-called. The Dayton Peace is essentially unfair because it cemented the results of ethnic cleansing of non-Serbs in Visegrad, Zvornik, Bijeljina, Prijedor, Foca, Srebrenica and many other cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A combination of tragic events of Srebrenica today belongs to the Serbian Republic. Serbia must clearly condemn the occupation of the territory of extinction, to show that he had parted with the ideology of expansion of the territory, which is too long guided its internal and foreign policy. Serbia's really no reason to support the Serbian Republic, the rest of her unfortunate politics of the 1990s, compared to Sarajevo. Serbia has tried to kill Bosnia and Herzegovina. Killing Bosnia, Serbia and kill yourself, because the extremism of the Republic of Serbian as a returning boomerang killing civil Serbia. I hope the Bosnians to forgive our posterity. And I hope that our descendants will never forgive your ancestors.Let us forgive one another our madness. We ourselves we must never forgive.We killed a part of his people in Bosnia. CIVILIZATION PERSPECTIVESBosnia and Herzegovina has opened the possibility of our common life, Orthodox, Catholics and Muslims the same language. The political ideas of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the principle of coexistence versus tribal divisions, religious tolerance against religious exclusivism. Many citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina have fallen into the sad situation that influenced inflammatory propaganda despise their homeland. I know many who despise the Bosnian Serbs of Bosnia, Serbia and worship. They make mistakes hugely. As a member of the Serbian people, as a Serb from Serbia, I say to my compatriots, Serbs from Bosnia - Serbia is not your mother, your mother is Bosnia. Do not despise the land of our fathers. In Bosnia, our nation has been living for centuries. In the Middle Ages, when Serbia did not exist, but only a vassal principality of Raska, our ancestors in the Kingdom of Bosnia resisted the various powers of the East and West. Bosnia has never been part of Serbia, and if there were any justice, will never be. The most powerful medieval Serbian rulers, such as Stefan Nemanja and Dusan strongman, failed to include Bosnia in your country. Centuries later, it has not succeeded even Slobodan Milosevic.Serbia should not aspire to winning and adjoining Bosnia, but to be with her in the community on an equal footing. Serbia from Bosnia should teach diversity.Unlike Serbia, Bosnia has a long tradition of multiculturalism. The concept is based on the Bosnian coexistence of different religious traditions and has the capacity to integrate people of different ethno-religious traditions that share the same geographical area. The concept of Serbian pride, unfortunately, does not have this capacity, it rests on the principle of religious exclusivity. It is exclusive in its essence, not only against other nations but also to compatriots who do not belong to the Orthodox. The logical policy exclusion is an outcome of extinction. It is no coincidence that the Serbian Orthodox Bishop Njegoš defined precisely in the context of extinction of local Muslims (so-called renegade investigation). This concept seems disintegration even in Serbia itself, preventing it becoming a state of all its citizens, that a modern political nation. Thus, some critics suggest redefining the concept of Serbian pride on the principle of integration. Sarajevo, often referred to as the Balkan Jerusalem, because in its center to each other are Muslim, Orthodox, Catholic and Jewish places of worship. Belgrade is, unfortunately, can not boast such respect their different heritage - Belgrade synagogue and mosque are hidden and ghettoized, Belgrade Buddhist temple, one of the first in Europe, has long been neglected and destroyed. Belgrade landscapes be dominated exclusively by Orthodox churches. Belgrade has persistently deny their own history - from ancient dvestotinjak mosque in Belgrade, only one survived, and she was burned. It seems that our city is not yet mature enough to visibly highlight their different traditions. To be grown into a true metropolis, Belgrade must accept their differences. Bosnia is the heart of the Balkans. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a geographical, linguistic and ethnic center of our nation divided by religion, while Croatia and Serbia, western and eastern peripheries.If the Muslims, Catholics and Orthodox Christians of our language opt for coexistence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it will be a beneficial impact on all neighboring countries. Joint Bosnia and Herzegovina does not currently exist.Barbarians since the war trying to carved up Bosnia and Herzegovina to the quarreling of ethno-religious entities, representing the policy of apartheid and segregation as something desirable. Than half the state's multi-faith religious is made solely Republic of Serbian para-state. In other parts of the established dominance of Bosniaks and Croats. The reality has exceeded the wildest predictions of Sarajevo Surrealists, including inventing new languages and division by ethnic children in kindergartens and schools. The output from this situation should be sought in the abolition of war and turning the entities regionally autonomies, not related to ethnicity. Long live the common Bosnia and Herzegovina, whose schools will be learning a language, because it is a language spoken by the people. great thing is that Bosnia and Herzegovina is still there. As the only multi-ethnic state in the Balkans, it is an eyesore to all nationalists, especially after the collapse of our common state of Yugoslavia.Failure of Yugoslavia have fallen a great test of coexistence. For the common life we are left with only Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia is our only hope!
