As noted by the media, due to the sensitivity of the issue of nationality, political parties could not agree on conducting the census for years. The Bosniak parties insisted that the census not be carried out until the return process of refugees and exiles is completed, because otherwise the state of persecution and war crimes will be legally accepted. They also suggested that the census could possibly be carried out without declaration of national and religious affiliation, but this was strongly opposed by the parties from Republika Srpska, who demanded that such declaration be mandatory. The preliminary results of the census in BIH 2013 do not contain data on religious and ethnic affiliation, and on mother tongue, which will be processed later.
