Bosnian communities are segmented and organized on the basis
of ethnic belonging. The majority of Bosnian migrants do not feature in migrant
organizations;
Moreover, to the extent that members of the third generation may still define
themselves as having an identity different from that of most citizens of the host
country, they are more apt to define their identity in terms of their religion, rather
than in terms of the ethnic or national origin of their grandparents (Hirschman
2004, 1209–1211). Where the Bosnian diaspora is concerned, this suggests that,
by the third generation, Catholics will feel fully integrated into societies with
Catholic majorities, while those maintaining their Orthodox or Islamic faith while
living in Western Europe or Australia or the USA are likely to continue to feel
that they are ‘outsiders’. As Bassam Tibi has noted, ‘third generation Muslims
[will have come] to constitute an Islamic diaspora’ (Tibi 2010: 134) rather than,
in this case, a Bosnian diaspora.As Bassam Tibi has noted, ‘third generation Muslims
[will have come] to constitute an Islamic diaspora’ (Tibi 2010: 134) rather than,
in this case, a Bosnian diaspora. This is not to say that Muslims do not form
bonds with their adopted countries. On the contrary, they do form such bonds,
but, as Akbarzadeh and Mansouri have suggested, European Muslim migrants
17 On this point, Hirschman’s study is in concordance with earlier studies, including
Milton Gordon’s seminal work Assimilation in American life: The Role of Race, Religion,
and National Origins (Gordon 1964).Bosnian Migrants:
‘navigate between connections and emotional attachment to the country
of residence’ and connections with and emotional attachment to their country of
origin (Akbarzadeh and Mansouri 2007: 11, as quoted in Tibi 2010: 134).

Bosnian communities are often divided by ethnic boundaries; Bosnian
migrants who are not members of the majority Bosniak group are known not to
associate themselves with Bosnian organizations that are dominated by Bosniaks
(Brekke 2001, see also Overview over situation of Bosnian emigration 2008). As
Halilovich (Chapter 3) and Povrzanović-Frykman (Chapter 12) indicate, recent
Bosnian migrants of Croat and Serb ethnicity are primarily attracted to Croat and
Serbian migrant communities, which were initially established by older cohorts of
migrants from Croatia and Serbia. Indeed, there are several mechanisms that may
undermine internal solidarity, reinforce ethnic divisions, and perpetuate conflicts
in Bosnian migrant communities.
