Summary/Abstract: In this commentary the author brings a few notes about the atmosphere that existed in Tuzla, on the eve of and during the aggression on Bosnia and Herzegovina, and provides some explanation that could serve the better understanding of the context and background of certain events, opinions and statements which marked the social and political life of Tuzla in the first half of the nineties. After the first multiparty elections in Yugoslavia in 1990 one could witness the commotion and turmoil of old and new, the clashing of ideas and projects, identities and differences, skills and ambitions, without the possibility of consideration of the final outcome and consequences of these movements for the lives of the people in this region. The author also expresses his personal reflections on some aspects of historical heritage and the realities of social life in Tuzla, as well as notes on political and intellectual developments in the city in which he himself participated.
