Summary/Abstract: The author here analyses the conclusions of the State Anti-fascist Council for the National Liberation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ZAVNOBiH) as the war parliament of B&H. Decisions of this anti-fascistic body during the Second World War were principally normative, however, they have completely ignored one “shy nationality” (Bosnian) depriving the country of its civil identity. It was only logical to call the nation that lives in a country for centuries called Bosnia – Bosnian. ZAVNOBIH thus divided Bosnians, on ethnic criterion (...a land of Serbs, Croats and Muslims not of Bosnians!) and laid the foundations for anti-Bosnian tendencies of Serbian and Croatian nationalisms and their continuous interference into Bosnian inner affairs. This situation continued until the present day. Was comrade Stalin responsible for this and such decisions regarding the local national issues or was it something else?!
