Basic socio-political facts of contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina and their translatological reflection in Czech

The article deals with the older and current meanings of Serbo-Croatian onymes expressing the basic socio-political facts of contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosanac, Bošnjak, Musliman, Srpska), the meanings of adjectives bosanski and bošnjački and their translation equivalents in Czech. It concludes that, despite the data in older Czech dictionaries, Czech equivalents Bosňan "Bosnian" and Bosňák "Bosniak" cannot currently be understood as synonyms, and the same is true of adjectives bosenský "Bosnian" and bosňácký "Bosniak", Czech equivalents of the respective Serbo-Croatian adjectives. The use of terms related to the difficult socio-political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina in foreign languages needs to be very cautious.
