“…89 Similarly, Hajdarpašić's analysis of history books used in Bosnia prior to the reforms show a 'nationalist stunt [that] clearly relies on the familiar images of 'the Turkish yoke' -especially on the image of the brutal Ottoman practice of child-levying (or devşirme).' 90 The Yugoslav education system shared the aim of other socialist education systems, attempting to instill a 'socialist morale' into the people, willing to 'embrace all the contents and the aims of education with socialist ideology, with the aim of preparing young generations to conform to a framework.' 91 Furthermore, Sicurella states that the Yugoslav federation's socialist education agenda was enmeshed with the political doctrine of 'brotherhood and unity', in order to ensure the "accommodation and the 'neutralisation' of the different national interests within the federation."…”

Historical works produced by Kosovars are currently at the centre of diplomatic concerns. Today Turkey is one of Kosovo’s closest allies, but Turkish scholars and government officials are particularly critical of the way the history of the Ottoman Empire is being taught in Kosovo’s schools. In this article I consider how Pan-Slavic ideologies have influenced the writing of Kosovar Albanian histories, particularly during theYugoslav socialist era. I draw on research concerning the relationship between bias in historical textbooks and international conflict. Exploring examples of historical literature currently being taught in Kosovo’s primary and secondary schools, I analyse the discourses espoused by Kosovar historians in depicting the history of the Ottoman Empire. I argue that some of the Turkish criticisms are valid and hence there is need to revise historical texts used in Kosovo’s schools. In particular, there is a need to provide more objective accounts of Kosovar Albanian history in classrooms, especially as regards anti-Ottomanism and the Pan-Slavism. The amendment of Kosovar historical texts in schools would not only provide students with a more accurate and informed interpretation of the past, but also contribute to efforts seeking to improve diplomatic relations.

“…medresy, ty ovšem v Sandžaku a jeho okolí fungovaly po válce jen dvě -v Pljevlji a Peći. 79 V roce 1925 byla ve Skopji založena státní Velika medresa Kralja Aleksandra, poskytující vyšší vzdělání náboženské i světské. Tato instituce, původně zamýšlená jako vzorová pro výchovu nových muslimských elit v duchu loajalismu, se vzápětí poněkud paradoxně stala místem odporu k režimu a dokonce "semeništěm" komunistických myšlenek.…”

The Ethno-National Emancipation of the Sandžak Muslims in the Late Ottoman and Yugoslav PeriodsThe Sandžak, or Sanjak of Novi Pazar, is a strategically important region situated between modernday Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, and Kosovo. It is well known for its great cultural, religious, and ethnic diversity. As such, the area represents an interesting field for research of inter-ethnic and interconfessional relations. The article traces the ethno-national emancipation of the local Slavic Muslim community since the early nineteenth century until the late 1980s and its confrontation with the nationalisms and expansionisms of the nascent Christian nations and states in the Balkans. It argues that the identity of the Sandžak Muslims transformed from a predominantly religious identity to a national one no earlier than during the socialist modernization in Yugoslavia in the post-WWII period.

“…First, Hajdarpasic (2008) argues that the Sarajevo Haggadah is exhibited in order to commemorate the victims of the Nazi Holocaust during World War II as well as to draw an analogy between the Holocaust as one of the most tragic events [315] of world history, on the one hand, and the horrific events of the war in the 1990s, on the other hand. In other words, by evoking images of the World War II anti-Semitism and genocide, an analogy is also made to the lack of international intervention to stop the war in BiH and the atrocities that were committed during the war.…”

The current article explores how political changes in the past 130 years have shaped and reshaped three major museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The overall aim is to describe structural processes of national museum building in BiH and the ways the museological representation of history is connected to state and nation making and to political transitions and crises. The analysed museums are the National Museum of BiH, the History Museum of BiH, and the Museum of the Republic of Srpska. The source material analysed consists of the directories and the titles of exhibitions; secondary material, which describes previous exhibitions; and virtual museum tours. The article illustrates that during the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, which established the National Museum in 1888, the museum played an important part in the representation of Bosnian identity (bosnjastvo). After World War II, in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, all three analysed museums were summoned to interpret the past in accordance with the guidelines of the communist regime. Since the 1990s, a highly ethnicized process of identity building and of the musealization of heritage, and history permeates all three museums analysed here. When it comes to the central exhibition-themes following the 1990s war, one could conclude that whereas the National Museum and the History Museum highlight the recent creation of an independent BiH and ostracize BIH-Serbs, the Museum of the Republic of Srpska asserts the ostensible distinctiveness of the Republic of Srpska and excludes the narratives about BiH as a unified and independent nation-state. If an agreement about the future of BiH and its history is to be reached, a step towards multi-vocal historical narratives has to be made from both sides.
