The aim of this study is to analyse different historical interpretations of stećci (medieval tombstones from Bosnia and Herzegovina and surrounding regions) and to highlight their use in the construction of national narratives and territorial claims. The study compares national interpretations that present stećci as a symbol of specific ethnic groups (Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats) with modern research emphasizing their multi-confessional character. Particular attention is paid to the so-called "Bogomil myth", which associates the stećci with the heretical Bogomil sect, and its role in ideological discourses from the 19th century to the present day. The research shows that the stećci represent a significant cultural heritage that cannot be reduced to a single religious or ethnic narrative.
