  Muslim-Bosniaks in Croatia
Therefore, only the next official census in the Republic BiH and in Croatia has to determine the number of Muslims that declared themselves for the Bosniak nationality, since it is probable that a certain number of them will declare themselves as Croats, Serbs, or without nationality, as was the case in the previous years.
Since the Muslim believers changed the name of their nationality twice in the period from 1971 to 1991 (and were nationally undeclared until 1970), this shows that their national consciousness has not yet stabilized.
And after the Federation of BiH and the Republic of Srpska were formed on the territory of former Bosnia and Herzegovina by Dayton agreement, it can be expected that on these territories we shall have a new and different national affiliation.

 After decade, ethnic killings scar country - The Boston Globe - Boston.com - Europe - News
As Bosnia-Herzegovina prepares to mark the 10th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre with a solemn ceremony tomorrow, survivors, officials, and ordinary Bosniaks say that despite marked progress over the past year in prodding Serb officials to acknowledge the scope of the atrocities, the country remains deeply divided, scarred by mistrust, and far from reconciliation.
Bosniaks continuously -- and bitterly - point out that the masterminds of the Srebrenica massacre, Mladic and the Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic, remain at-large.
The raw emotions accompanying the Srebrenica anniversary were fueled further early last month when a video showing a Serb paramilitary unit known as the Scorpions executing six Srebrenica captives was released by the UN war crimes tribunal and played repeatedly on television in Bosnia and in neighboring Serbia-Montenegro, the successor state of Yugoslavia.

While Bosniaks in Novi Pazar have no interest in being separated from their kith and kin in Rozaje, Montenegro’s prime minister, Milo Djukanovic, is forging ahead with his decade-old project to lead an independent Montenegrin state, which will be recognised by the international community.
“Bosniaks in Serbia favour preserving the joint state, to maintain the integrity of the region,” he said, “but in Montenegro over 90 per cent of Bosniaks favour an independent Montenegro.”; The reasons for this are complicated.
In the meantime, Bosniaks on both sides of the border are having to get used to the routine of inspections and controls at the hands of customs officials.

Ashdown’s 28 January decree will transform the city’s six separate Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) and Bosnian Croat municipalities into a single assembly and administration and reduce the number of elected officials from 194 to 35 before the end of the year.
The two ruling nationalist parties in Mostar--the Bosniak Party of Democratic Action (SDA) and the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ)--asked for a 10-day extension to the latest deadline, but Ashdown was loath to give them any more time.
Though the retention of six electoral units instead of the previously envisioned single unit will guarantee the Bosniaks equal influence on the city council, SDA has objected to the decree because it means that it will no longer control its own municipalities.
