The Yugoslav federation was established, the shapes of some federal units concerning the boarder were not completed, also the permament positionof some areas, the members of the union structure, as unitary or complex. At the mentioned AVNOJ session the idea of the Bosniaks to be a nation was refused. The republican status of B-H at the Second AVNOJ session was not decided. As M. Djilas wrote, it was decided only after the session: “It happened during the march, after the withdrawal from Jajce, early January 1944. Ranković informed that the Bosnian leadership suggests a republic and Tito agreed, later all of them as well as something being acceptable for itself”. The communist authorities did not succeed to solve the national question in Yugoslavia completely after 1945, but rearanging the country on the federative basis the acceptable solutions for the multi-ethnic country were possible.
