Uloga katoličke crkve u procesu stvaranja neovisne Bosne i Hercegovine
The role of the Catholic Church in the process of creation of the independency of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: Independence Day is very important for every country and nation, it should be a magnificent date and celebrated throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. Unfortunately, it became problematic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, because the majority of the Serbian people did not go to the referendum or vote on February 29 and March 1, 1992 for the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The rhetorical question that arises today is what was our fate that day. And the question is, could it have been different? The answer was to stay in a truncated Yugoslavia, and Montenegro did not remain either, or to vote for independence. It is known that close to 65 percent of citizens with the right to vote turned out and close to 98 percent of them voted for the independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The said percentage of 65 percent of the turnout suggests that Croats and Bosniaks and some Serbs voted for independence. The church, local and general, unreservedly supported Bosnia and Herzegovina and not only Catholics but also all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina. HKD Napredak, although newly renovated (1990), contributed a lot to the cultural development of Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and became a significant factor on the social level as well.
