ABSTRACT
This chapter explores attitudes of the individuals towards the symbols of the state, which mirror the fractured citizenship regimes of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Montenegro. Obviously, the cases of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and Montenegro show that in the unconsolidated and challenged post-Yugoslav states, loyalties are vested in ethnic communities rather than in the state. The Ohrid Framework Agreement has induced a constitutional shift towards a state that is not defined in ethnic terms. Claiming that the Macedonian nation has roots in antiquity, the country's elite excluded the Albanian community's vision of Macedonians. Equally, the Albanian community believes that, within Macedonia, Albanians are treated with lack of due respect. The creation or the spread of narratives pertaining mostly to one ethnonational community in a pluriethnic country has an adverse effect on citizenship. In the context of the fractured citizenship in Bosnia and Herzegovina, sport is more than a reflection of a physical contest.
