Summary/Abstract: The works of the Austrian writer Peter Handke, particularly A Winter Journey to the Danube, Sava, Morava, and Drina Rivers or Justice for Serbia (1995) and A Summer Addendum to a Winter's Journey (1996) are the subject of debate which has been going on in Europe for almost two decades with varying degrees of intensity. After a brief overview of the genesis of the so-called Yugoslavian polemics, the paper discusses the author´s attitude and consideration of the issues related to Bosnia and Herzegovina, primarily the genocide in Srebrenica and the events in Eastern Bosnia. A part of the paper deals with the reception of Handke´s texts and the above-mentioned polemics in Bosnia and Herzegovina using a selection of texts from the daily newspapers and magazines from Bosnia and Herzegovina as an example.
