Ljiljan

Ljiljan was a Bosnian weekly news-political and cultural news magazine. It was founded by the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) (Bosnian: Stranka Demokratske Akcije) in 1990 as a successor to Muslimanski Glas (Muslims' Voice), the official bulletin of the party. With the name change it obtained a formal editorial independence, though it still reflected conservative Bosniak political positions, close to the SDA party.[1] For instance, as reported by Tanja Petrovic, Ljiljan opposed mixed marriages between Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs, deeming them an imposition from the Socialist times.[3]
