The Sarajevo-based Oslobodjenje daily of Friday cited the findings of the UNDP survey, which shows that 87.8% of Bosnian Muslims (Bosniaks) want to live with Serbs, and that as much as 94.8% have friendly feelings towards Croats.
Around 76% of Bosnian Croats are willing to live together with Bosniaks and Serbs, while the idea of coexistence is the least popular among Bosnian Serbs.
Around 59% of Serb respondents said they wanted to live with Bosniaks, and 60% had a positive attitude to coexistence with Croats.
As for Croat respondents, 66.5% said they had nothing against their children going to school with Serb children, and 63.5% were ready to let their children attend classes with Bosniak children.
The country's three largest ethnic groups are the most cautious when it comes to mixed marriages.
In areas predominantly inhabited by Croats, only 32.5% of respondents said they would have nothing against marrying a Serb, while an even lower 27.5% had nothing against marrying a Bosniak.
As for Bosniaks, 36.3% had nothing against marrying a Croat and 29.8% had nothing against marrying a Serb.
Around 31% of Serbs would agree to marrying a Croat and 27.5% would marry a Bosniak.
The survey concludes that most citizens really have nothing against coexistence, but that a significant number still lack a developed feeling of truly being nationals of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the daily said.
