Abstract
This paper presents results of media analysis of B&H print and broadcast media, as well as web portals regarding the topic of EU integrations. Bosnia-Herzegovina has not made significant progress in the past few years when it comes to fulfilling obligations related to EU accession and many media present this failure as a problem for B&H further development. So, the analysis of traditional and online media was aimed at finding main trajectories of reporting when it comes to (re)presentation of Europe. The results show that media discourse is quite different in two B&H entities (Federation of B&H and Republic of Srpska), that media do not report much on EU integrations (especially not online media) and even when they do they mainly report protocol-news, written in bureaucratic manner and presenting opinions of officials from EU and B&H.
