Abstract

In the post Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina, a state in which the war ended in 1995, there still exist unsolved issues considering the complex traditional, religious and national structure. The same applies to the system of education
Considering the changed social circumstances, new state organization and formation of government, even with all constitutional principles and legal regulations, it is very diffi cult to establish normal courses of social functioning. In that respect, education is struggling with systematization, especially due to different national, political, traditional and especially language interests of the people in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Nevertheless, in spite of the diffi culties, some solutions in education were achieved. Each constitutional nation in Bosnia and Herzegovina has its own educational system which permeates into the others, complements others in an agreed reciprocity and correlation and in that way manages to establish a common but complex system of education in B&H.
On those grounds, regardless of attempts for unifi cation of the majority nations, the Croatian nation gained the right to offi cial use of its textbooks and its language in education. In that way the Croatian people will create textbooks and other literature in the Croatian language, in accord with European standards.
