Bespovijesno vrijeme Bosne i Hercegovine / Unhistorical Time for Bosnia and Herzegovina

Semir Halilović — 2025-02-18

With the Dayton Peace Agreement, Bosnia and Herzegovina entered its ahistorical, critical existential phase of its own historical arc. The possibility for the country to fully integrate within the walls of the European Union within a decade or two melted over time in front of the realpolitik of the West, which left Bosnia and Herzegovina in the form of a fragile state so that in the future it could serve as a currency of regional adjustment. To date, global political leaders have not provided a credible argument that would confirm, without calculation, that they really want to introduce Bosnia and Herzegovina into the community of European states in the same framework as it was accepted into the United Nations. The reasons for this positioning oscillate between global support for the idea of forming three large states of Southeastern Europe, on the one hand, and the need to contain the Muslim political factor, on the other. Both policies have their strong ethnic advocates within Bosnia and Herzegovina itself, which, as a territorially divided and socially xenophobic state, is deprived of its own capacities to participate in its own destiny. Therefore, today's Bosnia and Herzegovina is at an existential minimum, surviving as a country in which the only political blueprint of the advocates of its survival is hope, which, as in all places without an organized future, represents the refuge of the weak. From 1995 to today, hope in the Dayton peace has been waning for decades. while at the beginning of the third decade of the 21st century, at the time of the beginning of the restructuring of the global political order, there was no complete sobering up regarding its perniciousness. For those familiar with arguments and realpolitik, there was no doubt since 1993 and at the latest by 1995 that the project in which the state unitarism changes serve for peace, instead of regeneration of Bosnian state and society, cementing the results of the war. But they represented a persecuted or marginalized minority. The majority intellectual and general Bosnian opinion appropriately contextualized and rather late realized that within the Dayton context, which they advocated and defended so wholeheartedly, Bosnia and Herzegovina and they together with it are, in fact, its possible future victims.

Intenzitet primjene ključnih odrednica transformacijskog liderstva direktora osnovnih škola u Kantonu Sarajevo / The Intensity of Application of the Key Determinants of Transformational Leadership of Principals of Primary Schools in Sarajevo Canton

Zijada Rahimić — 2025-02-18

Dynamics, uncertainty and unpredictability of change are present in all social spheres, including in the education sector. The position of the school director is considered crucial for creating an innovative school climate in accordance with environmental changes. The transformational leadership style is recognized as a style that enables capacity development, dedication and involvement of teachers in the process of innovative work in the direction of fulfilling the set goals of the school. Theoretical and empirical research proves that this leadership style in schools contributes to the empowerment of teachers in the application of innovative practices and the creation of an innovative school. Special emphasis is placed on the factors of building a vision, individual attention and intellectual stimulation by which transformational leaders motivate, inspire, encourage and stimulate teachers in intellectual work. This paper investigates the presence of the transformational leadership of primary schools principals in Sarajevo Canton. Using a sample of 675 teachers from 30 elementary schools, this paper examines whether and to what extent the principal's transformational leadership is represented using a quantitative research method. The results obtained on the basis of teachers' perceptions of the leadership of their principals show a high level of the presence of elements of transformational leadership: vision building, individual attention and intellectual stimulation. A high level of teacher evaluation indicates the director's readiness for innovative work, teachers' acceptance of a common vision and intellectual improvement in classroom work. Statistically significant differences in relation to the variables: gender, age, level of professional education, teaching area and years of work at the school, additionally explain the teachers' perceptions of the principal's transformational behavior. The teachers' acceptance of the change initiated by the director points to the need for systematic education of directors in the field of educational management, especially in the field of leadership.

Holistički pristup evaluaciji istraživanja i inovacija: Integracija scijentometrijskih indikatora i otvorene nauke / A Holistic Approach to Research and Innovation Evaluation: Integrating Scientometric Indicators and Open Science

Miloš Trifković — 2025-02-18

In the evolving trends of research and innovation (R&I) performance measurement and impact assessment, the traditional scientometric system – largely relying on quantitative metrics such as h-index and journal impact factors – is increasingly under scrutiny due to its limited capacity to capture a wider spectrum of scientific impact. The emergence of open science challenges traditional paradigms by advocating for more transparent and accessible research processes. Theoretically, this study expands the discourse on scientific impact evaluation by advocating for a broader set of criteria encompassing societal and economic dimensions. Integrating open science principles into research evaluation can provide a more comprehensive view of scientific contributions and enable academic inclusivity, transparency, and societal relevance, in line with the ethos of open science. Conceptually, the study analyzes the coexistence and dynamics between scientometric and open science evaluation systems, exploring their competitive and collaborative relationships. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of each system, revealing that a complete replacement of the scientometric approach by open science is unlikely, nor is there stagnation in their development. The main findings suggest a future where scientometric and open science systems coexist and partially converge, especially in the area of research and innovation outcome evaluation. This convergence heralds a more democratic and inclusive approach to evaluating scientific research. For policymakers and organizers of innovative systems, this study offers insights into possible policies that promote open science practices, developing evaluation metrics that acknowledge diverse scientific contributions, and fostering a research culture that values both scientific rigor and societal engagement. Using an exploratory method based on theoretical concepts and practical insights, this study contributes to more nuanced understanding of changing paradigms in research evaluation.

Pravo na obrazovanje i roditeljska odgovornost / The Right to Education and Parental Responsibility

Džamna Vranić — 2025-02-18

The right of the child has become, in the civilizational development to which modern states, United Nations members belong, one of the key contents of building a new and better world order. This means that, from birth until full legal capacity, the child enjoys and must enjoy the rights corresponding to the duties of parents and guardians, and the political community at various levels. Such rights and duties are determined by international conventions and other documents that are binding for all United Nations members. Regardless of differences in the cultural, political and economic circumstances of individual United Nations members, there are universal rights of the child and, consequently, universal duties in every legal system. This paper clearly presents that the provisions of the international political order oblige the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina to eliminate the current state of insufficient implementation of its duties specified in its Constitution.

Kob monaha Save: II dio / The Fate of the Monk Sava: Part II

Rusmir Mahmutćehajić — 2025-02-18

In the study The Fate of the monk Sava, author investigates and presents modern uses of the works of Nomokanon by Rastislav, the third son of Prefect Nemanja. Although the Nomokanon was created in the first decades of the 13th century, its ideological uses are an essential part of Serbian hegemony. And more than that, in that work, anti-Muslimism was elevated to the level of a Christian principle. That is exactly why it was used in almost all programs to destroy Slavic and Albanian Muslims. The research task of investigating the genocidal ideology of anti-Bosnia, the essential content of the crime of genocide and its threats of repetition, is not feasible without taking into account all the contents of culture, politics and economy in their long duration, which are involved in the denial of Bosnia and its religiously plural people. Until now, there have been no accounts of that work in the academic aspects of ethnonational politics, which need both theological and political enemies. The epistemological framework of the study is the theological and philosophical aspects of the prophetic heritage and their modern interpretations for the purposes of ideological homogenization and related denial and destruction of religious plurality.

Bošnjaci u devetnaestom vijeku – Izazov modernosti / Bosniaks in the Nineteenth Century – The Challenge of Modernity

Neven Jakupović — 2025-02-18

In this paper, an attempt is simultaneously made to inductively present the Bosniak response to the challenges of modernity, as indicated in his study by Prof. Fikret Karčić, with which no new history, national or state, was written, but an effort was made to shed light on one aspect of that history. Precisely on the principles of European historical and legal science, through a deductive approach, an attempt is made to follow the development of science and the way of analyzing various social phenomena in Europe in the nineteenth century, and one segment of this is the national history of Bosniaks and Bosnia in this period. Methodologically, historical-legal, comparative legal, dialectical (sociological) and dogmatic methods were used, individually and in their various combinations and variants. Certain conclusions were formulated, where it is first of all claimed that the tectonic changes experienced by the Bosniak people resulted in their full equal inclusion in the European political currents at an accelerated pace, although this participation is still tried to be minorized today.
