Summary/Abstract: In the structure of the judiciary in Bosnia and Herzegovina, State Court, as the only regular court at the state level, has special, but very important role. Court has been established in order to carry out certain responsibilities assigned to the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Constitution, as well as those arising from the European Convention on Human Rights and other international instruments, with the aim of ensuring effective judicial protection in those areas. It’s main jurisdictions are criminal, civil and administrative jurisdiction at the state level, and appellate jurisdiction over the decisions made by the same court in the first instance. This paper aims to point out the great, in fact, the critical importance of institutional strengthening of the position of independence of the judiciary in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as guarantors of the rule of law in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also on other important issues relating to the organization and operation of the Court.
