Bosna i Hercegovina u evropskom javnom poretku
Bosnia and Herzegovina and European Public Order

Summary/Abstract: The need for bodies of the council of Europe to become more active is particularly evident in the situation following the accession of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Namely, it was assumed that the accession followed a realistic assumption that once in the Council of Europe, Bosnia and Herzegovina would fulfill relatively quickly all the preconditions required by Article 1 of the Statue of the Council of Europe. The overall organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in relation to the respect for human rights and the rule of law, is predominantly not in compliance with the basic gals of the council of Europe. If Bosnia and Herzegovina is to stop being corpus alienum among other member states of the council of Europe, «normalization» will be required as soon as possible, for the state to become equipped for attaining the goals imposed by the Statute. The first decisive step in that direction would be an urgent harmonization of laws of Bosnia and Herzegovina – including, of course, constitutional law – with the European Convention for the protection of Human Rights, which is indeed the very foundation of the legal order.
