Ethnic Identity(s) in post-Yugoslav Bosnia and Herzegovina
Ethnic Identity(s) in post-Yugoslav Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: The coexistence of the three majority ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks) is a basic indicator of the ethnic plurality of the society of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and thus the identity of a divided society. What role ethnic identity plays in today’s interethnic relations is the main topic of this paper, as well as the influence of stereotypes on the perception of other ethnic groups. The paper is based on the research of ethnic stereotypes in the Bosnian society by the method of surveys, and the results will show how ethnic stereotypes or already based attitudes affect the observation of “different” i.e. members of other ethnic groups living in Bosnia and Herzegovina and bearers of different ethnic identities.
