Kulturna politika u Bosni i Hercegovini: entitet koji (ne)postoji
Cultural policy in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Entity that does (not) exist

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, cultural policy is defined as a group of attitudes and concepts based on which a subject, most frequently a state and its institutions, makes interventions in the realm of culture trying to direct it in the desired direction. The question arises about the criteria which may be used to assess whether there is a cultural policy in a certain society. The attempt is made to reply the question whether in post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina there is an articulated state/national culture policy aiming at the control of the sector of art and culture.It is stated that there is no unanimous Bosnian culture policy and the preconditions should be fulfilled for it to be made. Bosnian culture policy should be based on the following grounds: Establishment of functional national Ministry of Culture; allotting funds from taxes into culture funds; change perception of culture as only segment of public spending; create connections between culture and economy, tourism and ecology; change laws in power; transform existing organizational and management model in culture institutions etc.
