Form of Government in Bosnia and Herzegovina / Oblik državnog uređenja Bosne i Hercegovine

Abstract

With the force that is not reduced even now, nineteen years after establishing Bosnia and Herzegovina, to the legal and political theory and practice, there are great disagreements about the nature state arrangement of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
They are reported to be already at the time of adoption of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, that would later be resumed with greater or lesser intensity.
They often was caused by ideological and political reasons, because precisely define the shape of the state organisation of Bosnia and Herzegovina does not have only a scientific and theoretical, but also a great practical and political significance.
A state arrangements of Bosnia and Herzegovina is discussed not only from the standpoint of its positive legal nature (descriptive), but already from the standpoint of its favorable legal and political characteristics (prescriptive).
If the agree with the premise that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a complex state, it is not enough to provide an additional answer to the question about the concrete content and the nature of that complex state, but we must go further in our research.
Therefore, there are logical following questions: why is Bosnia and Herzegovina State quite complex in the form that currently exists, whether the form is an effective and what social factors and under which circumstances may affect its reform or radical change; whether such changes are required; whether in such a complex arrangements can be functional to operate its institutions, legislative before all.
