ABSTRACT

The members of the folklore group, including its leader, Zoran Kupreskic and his younger brother, the rehearser and lead musician, Mirjan, both from the Bosnian village of Ahmici, performed at both celebrations. However, that was also the last performance of the Slobodan Princip Seljo folklore group. It is important to note that a number of cases related to the massacre in Ahmici and the suspects for it are being heard before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (the ICTY). The Croatian public only gradually came to learn about the crime in Ahmici. The International Tribunal in The Hague, that is, the appropriate Prosecutor's office, conducted an investigation into the crime. Tone Bringa systematically researched the (co-)existence and worldviews of Muslims and Croats in a Central Bosnian village not far away from the township of Kiseljak, which she named Dolina. The anthropologist testified to the tolerance, which ruled in that township during the time of her research.
