Sažetak
Starting from the present state and position of the Croatian nation in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, an objective question arises – how can we solve that state, especially regarding
the equal status and sovereignty. It is high time Croatian people expressed themselves
about this topic and said, through their political main organization ie Croatian National
Assembly, what they wanted and in which way they offered a fair, honest, legal and logical
solution. Hereby it should be emphasised that we have created this country together and
that we have right to be a part of its constitutional and legal system. We have right to give
suggestions that will satisfy all and finally erase different speculations and attitudes of
some of the representatives of the Bosniak nation. These are the basic reasons and aims
of the scientific and professional conference that is being planned and that should answer
all important questions. Taking into account the fact that the topic encompasses a larger
array of questions, we should also expect different approaches. Personally I have decided
to write a shorter note on scientific, cultural and traditional aspect of a need to create a
new system that would ensure fairness and sustainability of such organization. As regards
the scientific aspect, main institutions and their representatives will be noted, as well as
the results that have happened in the wider historical time span and that point to the truth
that mustn’t be neglected. Our cultural events in a historical review enable us to create our
own identity. We, the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, have a rich tradition and famous
culture bearers. In addition to the culture, we should definitely emphasise the tradition and
all its different forms and richness of the Croatian tradition. The tradition of the Croatian
people encompasses some differences that do not reduce the value and culture of the
other nations in B&H. Furthermore they actually create the richness of this region. That is
creation through time that was shown in different shapes. The Catholic Church played an
enormous role here and it still does. That has to be emphasised. All this together prompts
us to individual thinking and justifies the requests of today for a different organization in
B&H in which Croats would together with the others create a state that would have a fair
approach to all the problems of the nations. We should immediately ask for what the other
nations in B&H already have. This paper does not tend to explain to the detail some facts
and events, as they are well known and the other authors will write about them. My personal
attitude, of course, is a subject to objective criticism and can be discussed at any level.
