ZNANSTVENO - KULTUROLOŠKI I TRADICIJSKI ASPEKT POTREBE FEDERALIZACIJE BiH. (Croatian)

SCIENTIFIC, CULTURAL AND TRADITIONAL ASPECT OF A NEED TO FEDERALIZE B&H. (English)

Starting from the present state and position of the Croatian nation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, an objective question arises - how can we solve that state, especially regarding the equal status and sovereignty. It is high time Croatian people expressed themselves about this topic and said, through their political main organization ie Croatian National Assembly, what they wanted and in which way they offered a fair, honest, legal and logical solution. Hereby it should be emphasised that we have created this country together and that we have right to be a part of its constitutional and legal system. We have right to give suggestions that will satisfy all and finally erase different speculations and attitudes of some of the representatives of the Bosniak nation. These are the basic reasons and aims of the scientific and professional conference that is being planned and that should answer all important questions. Taking into account the fact that the topic encompasses a larger array of questions, we should also expect different approaches. Personally I have decided to write a shorter note on scientific, cultural and traditional aspect of a need to create a new system that would ensure fairness and sustainability of such organization. As regards the scientific aspect, main institutions and their representatives will be noted, as well as the results that have happened in the wider historical time span and that point to the truth that mustn't be neglected. Our cultural events in a historical review enable us to create our own identity. We, the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, have a rich tradition and famous culture bearers. In addition to the culture, we should definitely emphasise the tradition and all its different forms and richness of the Croatian tradition. The tradition of the Croatian people encompasses some differences that do not reduce the value and culture of the other nations in B&H. Furthermore they actually create the richness of this region. That is creation through time that was shown in different shapes. The Catholic Church played an enormous role here and it still does. That has to be emphasised. All this together prompts us to individual thinking and justifies the requests of today for a different organization in B&H in which Croats would together with the others create a state that would have a fair approach to all the problems of the nations. We should immediately ask for what the other nations in B&H already have. This paper does not tend to explain to the detail some facts and events, as they are well known and the other authors will write about them. My personal attitude, of course, is a subject to objective criticism and can be discussed at any level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Polazeći od sadašnjeg stanja i položaja hrvatskog naroda u Bosni i Hercegovini, objektivno se nameće pitanje kako riješiti i poboljšati to stanje, posebno u pogledu ravnopravnosti i suvereniteta. Krajnje je vrijeme da se hrvatski puk očituje o tome i kroz svoju političku krovnu organizaciju tj. HNS-Hrvatski narodni sabor definitivno kaže što želi i na koji način nudimo pošteno, pravedno, ustavno-pravno i logično rješenje. Pri tome treba istaknuti da smo zajedno stvarali ovu državu i da imamo pravo sudjelovati u njenom ustavno-pravnom ustrojstvu i predlagati rješenje koje će zadovoljiti sve i konačno ukloniti razne spekulacije i stavove pojedinih predstavnika bošnjačkog naroda. Ovo su temeljni razlozi i zadatci znanstveno-stručnog skupa koji se planira i koji treba da da odgovore na sva važnija pitanja. S obzirom da tema obuhvata širi aspekt pitanja pa treba očekivati i različite pristupe koji daju mogućnost teme i njen naziv. Osobno sam se odlučio na kraći osvrt na znanstveno-kulturni i tradicijski aspekt potrebe stvaranja novog ustroja koji bi osigurao pravičnost i održivost takve organizacije. Što se tiče znanstvenog aspekta tu će se naznačiti glavne institucije i njihove nositelje, kao i rezultati koji su se u širem vremenskom razdoblju povijesti desili i koji upućuju na istinu koju se ne može zanemarivati. Naši kulturološki događaji kroz povijesni osvrt daju mogućnost stvaranja vlastitog identiteta, bogatog opusa i poznatih nositelja kulture Hrvata u Bosni i Hercegovini. Uz kulturu svakako treba istaći tradiciju i sve njene oblike različitosti i bogatstva, vezani za hrvatski narod u čemu se očituju i pojedine različitosti koje ne umanjuju vrijednost i kulturu drugih naroda u BiH, zapravo zajednički čine bogatstvo ovoga podneblja, svaki na svoj način. To je stvarano kroz vrijeme koje se manifestiralo u raznim oblicima u čemu je značajnu ulogu odigrala i to i danas čini Katolička crkva. To se mora posebno istaći. Sve ovo skupa daje mogućnost vlastitog razmišljanja i potrebu uvažavanja činjenica, te opravdava današnje zahtjeve drugačijeg ustroja u okviru BiH, u kojoj bi Hrvati skupa sa drugima stvorili državu u kojoj bi bilo pravde, poštenog prilaza svim problemima koji pripadaju svakoj naciji. Bez odlaganja tražiti ni manje ni više nego što drugi narodi u BiH imaju. Ovaj prilog nema tendenciju detaljnijeg obrazlaganja pojedinih činjenica i događaja, jer su oni poznati, o čemu će konačno i drugi pisati. Moj osobni stav dakako podliježe objektivnoj kritici i polemici na bilo kojoj razini. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
