Both authors have introduced the activity of The Association of Slovenes Tuzla (translation from Slovene) - The
Association of Slovenes Tuzla (translation from Serbo-Croatian). As early as the end of the 19th century, the first larger
groups of Slovenes settled in the mining basins in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia
and moreover during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, they became aware of their roots again and as the consequence, the
informal amical society of the citizens of the Slovene origin had changed into a more important and formal one and it was
transformed into an association - society, which according to the authenticated sources, has been active to this very day, thanks
to the help and assistance ofthe original native country as well.
