The opus of art and literature created in BiH during sixties and seventies of the 20th century was marked by particular concern for the relation between tradition and contemporary, thus literary and artistic trends in Bosnia and Herzegovina became an integral part of then contemporary European historiography. Concern for its cultural heritage resulted in boost in publishing activity, initiation of some of the major cultural institutions and editions, revival and launching of a significant number of magazines and publication in the field of literature and arts including motion picture and organization of numerous research projects and symposiums. Those were the years when a new cultural history of Bosnia and Herzegovina was emerging, not on the margins of regional and European cultural trends but representing a new challenge for the chritiqual appreciation.
