    The following is from the above link.
    1967-1970: Guest workers come to Denmark
    In the 1960s, Denmark was characterised by economic growth and prosperity. This led to an even greater demand for labour within the industrial sector, and it could not be filled by improvements in production technology or the increase of women in the workforce. Employers were therefore permitted to invite guest workers (often also called ‘foreign workers’ (fremmedarbejdere)) to the country. In 1967 the first workers came from countries such as Turkey, Pakistan and Yugoslavia. Most of the new guest workers were men and the expectation was that they would only live and work in Denmark for a few years after which they would return to their homeland.

    In 1970, there were approximately 20,000 non-Danish workers in Denmark.

    This seems to explain the use of both the Danish and Bosnian languages on the image.

    It looks political, I think the star with the letters is significant. I don't know what the letters stand for though. Something to do with a trade union?
    Croatian maybe? I read 'ugovor o zaposlenja', which is Croatian for 'employment contract'.
    The Serbo-Croat language was the main language in Yugoslavia, actually two closely related Slavic languages, with Serbian written in Cyrillic script and Croatian in Latin script.

    Bosnian is one of the other Slavic languages spoken in (former) Yugoslavia, but it wasn't used for Yugoslavian governmental communication, or for official communication with Yugoslavians in other European countries.
