Religion and State in Bosnia and Herzegovina:

Socialist and Post-socialist period

Bosnian experience in multiculturalism, diversity and integration of different religious and ethnic groups through history is very significant and can be relevant to the European Union as well as the rest of the world, especially in the context of the great challenges they are currently facing, such as as the migration crisis. With the brief historical introduction this talk will deal with the religion and the state relationship in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the socialist and post-socialist period.
