Bosnia and Herzegovina, Its Development and Democracy

Summary/Abstract: This contribution presents the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) throughout its history, its development and current state of affairs. The main conclusion is that BiH is today a parliamentary republic, with all democratic credentials that enable its existence and functioning in the modern society of states. Its current political structure and functioning was designed by the Dayton Peace Accords that followed the brutal war after the dissolution of former Yugoslavia. It was, however, the latter country that first enabled people of BiH to become political independent citizens. The author pays special interest to the issue of local governmental authorities and the way of expressing and implementing that part of citizens’ rights.
