In the master's thesis, we analyze how the genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina remains one of the key events that have a strong impact on inter-ethnic relations in the region, as well as on the political, cultural and economic fabric of Bosnia and Herzegovina. My research focuses on a multi-layered analysis of the complex conditions in ideology that, as a tool of ethno-nationalist politics, allowed such genocide to occur and leave behind complex consequences that hinder its full recognition, comprehensive addressing and reflection, and confronting it. tragic event, with the aim of discovering ways to deal with its consequences and promote reconciliation among the affected community. The Srebrenica genocide was a massacre of more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men by Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995 during the Bosnian War. The victims sought refuge in the protected enclave of Srebrenica, guarded by a United Nations peacekeeping mission with Dutch troops, but were betrayed and captured and then executed by Bosnian Serb forces. The Srebrenica genocide is considered the worst crime in Europe since the end of World War II and has been recognized as an act of genocide by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Court of Justice. It had profound consequences on Bosnian society and politics, and its influence is still felt today, almost three decades later, in various areas of society. Division and polarization of the country remains high, with ethnic tensions escalating. With one of today's most powerful weapons - the media - the circle of tensions, violence and hatred is expanding, because only they shape public opinion, which hinders right and harmonious cooperation. As a result, relations between different ethnic and religious groups remain tense, with a lack of trust and understanding.
