Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the two main directions of Bosniak nationalist politics in contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first direction is a radical, consolidating-antagonizing strategy, based on the logic of strengthening political and religious divisions and aimed at trengthening the internal cohesion of the Bosniak nation. The second direction is a moderate cooperative strategy, based on the logic of transcending these divisions and oriented towards cooperation of the Bosniak nation with the international community (mainly) and the other two nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina (to a lesser extent). The article shows the dynamics of continuous tension between these strategies from 1995 to 2015.
