Stećci u aktuelnim bosanskohercegovačkim udžbenicima historije / Medieval Tombstones – Stećci in Contemporary History Textbooks of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Abstract

The aim of the article is to asses the presentation of medieval tombstones – stećci as the one of the most significant cultural monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its neighborhood in Middle Ages in the textbooks. The analysis has been conducted on the textbooks created by the present curricula for history education in Bosnia and Herzegovina based on the three languages (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian). The main question that is raised is to whom the stećci belong to and in what extent the contents of the textbooks are influenced by ideologies and in what extent they are presented as a cultural-historical and common value.
