In geopolitical bipolar division of the world, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been on the border between East and West for centuries. Its territory and its culture have been created between global and local influences of power and experience, through juxtaposition of Eastern and Western models.

Today's Bosnia and Herzegovina is, on the one hand, searching for its position and setting the limits in relation to the global and regional networks, while, on the other hand, is searching for the internal limits of national and cultural identities of three constituent peoples. All this led to the complex issue of heritage and collective memory. This article investigates the meaning of heritage of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian town today, taking into consideration the way its territory is created as well as the mentioned ongoing processes. It analyses the role of heritage and memory attached to it, in the process of identity transformation in the case of town of Trebinje.

Palabras clave : identity; heritage; Bosnia and Herzegovina; Trebinje.
