Summary/Abstract: In the texts published in the »Sarajevski novi list« are elaborated all the essential elements of the ustaši conception of Bosnia and Herzegovina: a) Bosnia and Herzegovina in the historical, i.e. in the constitutional rights, is considered as a Croatian land, b) in the ethnic sense, Bosnia and Herzegovina are populated mainly by the Croatian element, Moslems being treated as a constitutive part of that element, c) for reasons of propaganda, Bosnia and Herzegovina were given the central role in the creation and survival of the ustaši state. Since the »Sarajevski novi list« - from May 11, 1941 to April 3, 1945 - figured as the principal messenger of the so-called Independent State of Croatia in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the sphere of its interest were primarily the events and problems that took place in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a visible change of stress, depending on what region, or theme, at that moment was in the focus of the ustaši authorities.
