International prerequisites for an Islamic transformation in Bosnia-Herzegovina

Abstract

Events and turbulence that started in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the spring of 1992 have grown into a civil war full of bloodshed. For understanding the fundamental causes of this conflict that agitates this central republic of the former Yugoslavia a detailed analysis of the position of one of its principal participants in necessary. The author tried to lay out the position and role of the Party of Democratic Action as the principal representative of the Bosnian Moslems. Judging by the published information on this organization it is evident that its basic goal is the transformation of Bosnia-Herzegovina first into a predominantly Moslem and later in Islamic republic. These actions could not be effective without a continual material and moral support on the part of the Islamic world. The author consequently presents conditions and forms in which the international Islamic institutions and organizations have contributed, and still do, to everything that is happening in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Zbivanja koja su od proleća 1992. zahvatila Bosnu i Hercegovinu transformisala su se u krvavi građanski rat. Da bi se shvatilo šta je u osnovi sukoba koji potresa centralnu republiku bivše Jugoslavije valja detaljno proanalizirati poziciju jednog od glavnih aktera spora. Autor je u svom prilogu nastojao da predstavi poziciju i ulogu Stranke demokratske akcije (SDA) kao glavnog reprezenta bosanskih muslimana. Na osnovu objavljene građe vezane za tu organizaciju, očigledno je da je njen osnovni cilj transformisanje Bosne i Hercegovine u predominantno muslimansku, a zatim u islamsku republiku. Sve te akcije ne bi mogle da se ostvare bez trajne materijalne i moralne podrške iz islamskog sveta. Stoga, autor prikazuje uslove i forme pod kojima su međunarodne islamske institucije doprinele, i doprinose, svemu što se u Bosni i Hercegovini zbiva.
