Census of 2013 represents a controversy and a dilemma, but none the less, the author believes that it is an important fact that the Bosniaks, as one of the constitutive peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, will for the first time, be able to articulate their national affiliation , he further states that it is in general interest of the Bosniaks that the census is carried out in accordance with the law and that the provisions of the law for the coming census are in full accordance with current European statistic and demographic standards.
