Cultural politics
In the period that the magazine was published, Austria-Hungary were occupying Bosnia and exercised ''de facto'' control, but had not yet formally annexed the region. ''Nada'' was explicitly a cultural project of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Its aim was to "diminish or entirely eliminate the influence of the Croatian and the Serbian newspapers and magazines and making the domestic opposition newspapers". The name itself reflects this: Hörmann chose it to signify "hope in the progress of the people towards Austria", by reinforcing the Bosnian sense of nationality. It set out to be secular and did not seek "open conflict", but instead sought "morally correct reporting" with horizons beyond just Bosnia or the Austro-Hungarian monarchy.
Kecmanović (1963) takes the position that Hörmann and Kállay pursued the policy of inventing an "artificial" Bosnian identity to aid Austria-Hungary in
Cathlocicising the region, which first required Serbian "denationalisation".
