Is Bosnia Western of Eastern?

[Voskos]

Central-eastern.

[brennus dux gallorum]

By identity neither western nor eastern Europe.Geographically only central-eastern European

[LieDetector]

So much coping in this thread.

It's none. Bosnia was the only medieval European country that was non-Catholic and non-Orthodox at the same time, had it's autonomous heretical Church and was considered an outcast by both Vatican and Constantinople. The identity of Bosniaks is historically built on opposition to the traditional ideas of both Western (Catholic) and Eastern (Ortodox) Europe.

And let's face it, the concepts of West and East Europe are pretty much Catholic culture vs Orthodox culture.

I love that way only Bosnians as a taliban nation perceive Europe, which of course is far from reality,as neither churches are associated with parts of Europe nor such a conflict exists

[Bonpal]

other moslems probably think of them as western. since raping and pouring acid on womans faces is rare. as far as we know.

I didn't expect you to understand, that would be overestimating you.

The world is not like the Serbs and their dogmatic attitude. There is no conflict between Catholics and Orthodox.

Depends on your region, I guess. In most of former Yugoslavia, the hatred between the 2 is enormous.
