BIH PRESIDENCY IN A FUNCTION OF INTERNATIONAL REPRESENTATION AND MAINTAINING OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

Summary/Abstract: What nowadays characterizes the states, as the most significant subjects of international relations, is that for the majority of them a head of state is the most important body who presents and represents the state towards the world, maintains international relationships and makes decisions in the domain of international politics. It is common that domestic legislation of modern states regulate that a head of the state is an unipersonal body (one person), however there are exceptions to this rule in the countries whose constitutional norms establish that a collective body rules the state – a collective head of state. BiH Presidency, as a collective head of this exceptionally complex state, simultaneously performs one of the very important role involving activities related to international politics of BiH. With regards to the BiH Presidency it is happening very often that necessary consensus does not exist and that the BiH residency members act individually lacking coordinated stands, which violates the concept of unique body in epresenting the state internationally as well as maintainig international relations which at the same time make harm to the international reputation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and additionally burden internal relations. As the principle of consensus and equality of the three constituent peoples is a basic prerequisite for the BiH Presidency to fulfill its constitutional role thereby the lack of consensus consequently leads to the possibility that the collective head of Bosnia and Herzegovina gets into the deadlock on issues of representation and maintenance of international relations. Since a condition for the building of a stable and peaceful Bosnia and Herzegovina are mutual respect, tolerance, cooperation, solidarity, consensual decision making and collective action, such mechanisms are also necessary for the operation and future of the BiH Presidency in conducting of foreign policy.
