The focus of the material is the period immediately preceding the war.
The central position of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the wars that affected the region during the 1990s, the division of plans and programs, as well as the existence of three different, exclusive and often mutually opposing versions of history, pose a particular problem to educators in BiH which deserves special attention.
The central question that the material attempts to answer is how and to what extent is history (ab)used to increase discord within society. To what extent have the citizens “learned” to be afraid and to hate “others” in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
