Abstract

UDK: 342.8(497.6 Bijeljina)

The second waqf-mearf elections after the proclamation of the Statute for the Autonomy of the Muslim Religious and waqf-mearif affairs in Bosnia and Herzegovina were held in the year 2012. The elections in the waqf-mearif of the region of Bijeljina kotar saw some difficulties and irregularities for which the repetition of the election process was required and carried out. Using primarily unpublished documents from the archives as well as the published works as sources in this article we reconstructed the above-mentioned events in an attempt to present the impact they had on the formation of the central bodies within the structure of the autonomous waqf-mearif directorate.
