The Contested Memory of the Sarajevo Assassination
The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the mutually exclusive ethno-national narratives constructed during and after the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–95) through the analysis of the memory of the Sarajevo Assassination, which came into the focus of public interest due to its hundredth anniversary. The goal is to show how this important historical event, which gave Austria-Hungary a pretext to attack Serbia and led to the First World War, has been appropriated within the ethno-national narratives of the Yugoslav successor state, in which the last war (1992–95) is seen as a foundational myth, combined with the destruction or appropriation of the common Yugoslav past and anti-fascist values of the second world conflict. With the hundredth anniversary of the " shot hear around the world, " with which Gavrilo Princip shot dead the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenburg, also the story of the Sarajevo Assassination has been mobilized in the support of mutually exclusive versions of the past, which legitimize the current ethno-national regimes and deepen divisions in the country even twenty years after the signing of the Dayton Peace Accords.

Foreign policy of Serbia towards Bosnia and Herzegovina before the breakup of 1. World War.
"The main aim of the conference paper is to provide the methodological basis for the evaluation of mutual Serbo-Bosnian relations and to describe how the foreign policy of Serbian principality and after 1882 kingdom changed due to internal or external factors. Basic chronology of the researched topic is also provided. Important role has been also given to short analyses of Serbian national programs which considered Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of Serbian ethnic territory. Notion of common Serbian nationality presented by Karađorđe Petrović including Bosnia and Montenegro, contact of Bosnian Serbs with insurgents and Memorandum (1804) of Karlovci Metropolitan Stevan Stratimirović /1790-1836/ about creation Slavonic-serbian grand duchy), ideas of Serbia’s interior minister Ilija Garašanin towards Bosnia and Herzegovina in his Načertanije from 1844 (in English draft, in German entwurf). and national programs of Svetozar Marković (1846-1875), Dragutin Ilić (1858-1926) and Prince Regent Alexander (1888-1934) were also elaborated. The core part has been be devoted to Serbia’s state policy over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the second half of 19. century through key events and proclamations of Serbian and Montenegrin ruling dynasties (Uprising in Herzegovina in 1875, Serbo-turkish wars in 1877-1878, Berlin congress 1878, Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia in 1878, Bosnian Crisis of 1908–1909) and how the target – unification of Serbs in Bosnia with Serbia was planned to reach. Crucial perspective has been put on relations of Serbia and Habsburg Empire dealing Bosnian question – this part should be chronologically divided into two parts: 1. relations before signing of so called Secret Convention (Tajna konvencija) in 1881 and 2. after the May Overthrow (Majski prevrat) in 1903 when the foreign policy of Serbia changed significantly. The role of organizations as Unification or Death (Ujedinjenje ili Smrt) led by Dragutin Dimitrijević and National defense (Narodna odbrana) has been researched. The role of “Crna ruka“ organization and their political activities (for example creation of secret network, recruitment for information and sabotage aims) in Bosnia and Herzegovina are going to be analyzed too. Partial focus was put on creation of Young Bosnia (Mlada Bosna) and its role in Serbian national movement in Bosnia and Herzegovina, together with their initial aims and later transformation concerning coaction with “Crna ruka“. "
After the occupation and the annexation of Bosnia and Hercegovina (1878 and 1908 respectively), the Habsburg authorities implemented a full-scale modernisation process. Roads and railways were built, crops improved, endemic diseases tackled and a huge network of garrisons was built along the frontier with Serbia and Montenegro. In many respects both Serbia and Montenegro were similar to Bosnia and Hercegovina. Infrastructural development and agricultural prosperity in the Mačva region, with its river borders to the Habsburg state was unmistakable and widely admired in the press. At the same time, the rise of a pervasive and aggressive anti-Serbian sentiment in the Dual Monarchy meant that Orthodox people on both sides of the border were viewed with suspicion and mistrust. The Balkan Wars were reported so vividly that the Habsburg reading public developed a strong idea about a Serb propensity for violence as well the notion of endemic political instability. The assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914 created an opportunity and excuse for the Habsburg Army to invade Serbia. Troops were primed through propaganda, such as the slogan 'hang the Serbs from the willows' , a sentiment found in a Slovenian newspaper on the eve of the war. The first theatre of war was the fertile Mačva region and civilian casualties in its towns, particularly Šabac were extremely high. Furthermore, there were reports of atrocities against peasants in the nearby villages. In this article, I consider the war aims of the Dual Monarchy and the place of the Mačva, suggesting that the position of civilian Serbs in 1914 was highly vulnerable.
