Summary/Abstract: Even though projects seeing Bosnia and Herzegovina differently in terms of its current social and political organization have existed in the past as well, they have all lacked adequate resources and strategists able to find effective ways for achieving goals set down by those projects. These were the elements that weremissing for strategies to be fully defined as such. However, during the war against B&H (1992-95), these individual projects have been streamlined into a virtual (but very real) Project of Separating Peoples, which eventually ended up in the separation of the B&H society, as well as in the homogenization of peoples and territories, two novelties which B&H has not faced in the past. As society’s existence is conditio sine qua non of the state’s existence, consensus within society is conditio sine qua non of the social agreement without which, ultimately, neither the state nor the society can exist.
