On the territories of Central Serbia, Vojvodina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a result of rich history, Christian and Islamic religions developed as the most dominant ones. Christians in this region are represented by members of Catholic affiliation and Orthodox affiliation (their religious affiliation is usually related to their ethnic group, so Islamic believers are usually Bosnians and Roma, Orthodox believers are mainly Serbs and Montenegrins, whereas Catholic believers are most often Croats and Hungarians). After the end of SFRY, a country of socialist system which used to "ban" religion, by forming new national states on the territory of former SFRY, religion became a significant element in these societies, as well as in the lives of many individuals. In this paper, through a questionnaire survey, we will try to find out to what extents religion today is an important element in personal lives of the people in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and if their "return" to religion contributed to an increased interest in religious tourism.
