Summary/Abstract: In the article the author has taken into cosideration the well known thesis about Bosnia and Herzegovina as a little Yugoslavia and the arguments that she has made efforts to establish. It was formed by the political and the Party establishment with the goal to strengthen integration of a new society and a system that had been established after 1945, this Thesis was quickly accepted in the public discurse, and it become the unavoidably ornament of eruptive speaches in massive gathering. However, the above mentioned analysis lead us to the conclusion that Bosnia and Herzegovina establishment in late 1960s and 1970s expressed certain reserve and pointed out that it was a high political risk that it carried. Finally, the autor, in context of modern discusion, has stressed out that it has been important to take into consideration the significance of understanding of the place and the time when the Thesis was used and out of that contex the judgment is more about a daily political criticism, and less about the doktrine that was estabblished as scientifically and objective opinion.
