Summary/Abstract: This article sketches an overview of the image of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina in Bosansko-hercegovačke novine and Sarajevski list, the official gazettes of the Austro-Hungarian occupation government, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The study concerns the period from the creation of these two gazettes to the founding of the newspaper Bošnjak, the first modern Muslim periodical in the country. The analysis focuses on the frequency of reports on Muslims, the content, extent, and rhetoric of official and non-official information and, finally, the relevance of this reporting concerning Muslim everyday life. It situates these news reports about Muslims in the broader context – that of the building a state administrative apparatus governed by the Land Government in Sarajevo and of its ideological framework influenced by Benjámin Kállay, the Austro-Hungarian minister of finance and administrator of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
