Summary/Abstract: The decision of the great powers representatives on the Congress of Berlin to allow Austro-Hungary to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina appeared fatal to survival of a multinational empire, which did not wait long to execute those decisions. Habsburg troupes passed the border on July 29th 1878 at many places, which caused great disturbances in Bosnia and Herzegovina and conflicts with approaching units of black and yellow alliance towards Bosnian and Herzegovinian territory. Serbs were at the edge of the mass rebellion. It is that moment when an embryo of a resistance against occupational government was born, especially among young people, who were not ready to tolerate violence and enslavement in their own country. Immediately after its arrival at the Bosnian and Herzegovinian territory, Austro-Hungary appeared as a real occupational power and thus caused people’s revolt, especially of advanced intelligence. Human rights and freedoms were abolished, so it was necessary to form illegal cultural institutions and political organizations. Thus was formed organization of Young Bosnia as well, whose members assassinated Austro-Hungarian prince Franz Ferdinand.
