(Hope) was a Bosnian literary and arts magazine published between 1895 and 1903. It was the first Bosnian magazine comparable to other European cultural journals. It had the backing of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy; Kosta Hörmann and Béni Kállay were the driving force behind the magazine's founding. Hörmann would serve as its editor. After Kállay died in 1903, the magazine lost its impetus, and Bosnian nationalism shifted into a new form. The magazine remains an invaluable source of information on cultural life in Bosnia in the period.
