Summary/Abstract: The article presents Poles’ and Czechs’ opinions on Bosnian Muslims at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Historians would often use the diaries of English, German, French, and Russian travellers while similar sources by the authors from different countries were rarely analyzed.

Poles and Czechs were present in Bosnia as officials, traders, teachers, etc. The primary sources for this article are their travel diaries.
