Summary/Abstract: Bosnia-Herzegovina is a space of stopped processes of mutual enrichment and well-intended recognitions between the different entities. The particularities and layeredness of the folklore creativity, the literary and artistic achievements and artistic creations in general in Bosnia-Herzegovina are growing out of, to paraphrase Svetozar Petrović, “the specific historical prerequisites”. In this work we will formulate them as four hypotheses, or four starting points, for understanding the literature and language in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It is an understanding which could be used as an open intersecting point of all cultural and literal specifics. And they would no longer be rejecting or assimilating each other, but would stay open for mutual understanding and recognition.
