The paper discusses the rites and customs of the calendrical cycle of Ukrainians living in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the vocabulary of the traditional culture associated with calendrical rites. The paper is based on the author's own field data and linguistic, ethnographic and ethnolinguistic literature. Calendrical traditions and vocabulary of the traditional culture of the Ukrainians in Bosnia and Herzegovina are of great interest for contact linguistic and ethnolinguistic studies, since they are one of the few examples of the Eastern Slavic enclave surrounded by Southern Slavs. Ukrainian customs survive, despite more than a century of isolated existence among South Slavic neighbours, and become an important marker of the minority's cultural identity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The influence of the local Christian traditions is not very strong, being most evident in the language sphere in borrowed realia. Certain customs are shown to be typologically common to the Western Ukrainian and South Slavic traditions, with this commonality dating back to before the migration of Ukrainians to the Balkans. Also revealed are intra-local differences in the traditions and vocabulary of the Ukrainians in Bosnia and Herzegovina, related to different zones of the original migration.

Background: Evidence on youth suicides from Southeastern Europe is scarce. We are not aware of previous reports from Bosnia and Herzegovina, which experienced war from 1992 to 1995. Durkheim’s theory of suicide predicts decreased suicide rates in wartime and increased rates afterward. Aims: To compare child and adolescent suicides in Bosnia and Herzegovina before and after the war. Methods: Data on youth suicide for prewar (1986–90) and postwar (2002–06) periods were analyzed with respect to prevalence, sex and age differences, and suicide methods. Suicide data from 1991 through 2001 were not available. Results: Overall youth suicide rates were one-third lower in the postwar than in the prewar period. This effect was most pronounced for girls, whose postwar suicide rates almost halved, and for 15–19-year-old boys, whose rates decreased by about a one-fourth. Suicides increased among boys aged 14 or younger. Firearm suicides almost doubled proportionally and were the predominant postwar method, while the most common prewar method had been hanging. Conclusions: The findings from this study indicate the need for public education in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the role of firearm accessibility in youth suicide and for instructions on safe storage in households. Moreover, raising societal awareness about suicide risk factors and suicide prevention is needed.
