About the project of creating Alija Izetbegović’s bibliography
Alija Izetbegović Foundation has initiated the project which would include the creation of Alija Izetbegović’s personal bibliography, as well as the bibliography of works about Alija Izetbegović and his books.
The bibliography aims to primarily compile biographical and academic works in which Alija Izetbegović is a central theme, as well as his ethical, religious and political thought.
References included here have been formed on the basis of secondary sources. In the following period, we will strive to review and check the references after the visual inspection of the publications.
