Summary/Abstract: Forming of political parties in Europe is related to forming of civil and social norms as well as civil legal relations. Closely associated with the mentioned, the foundations of liberal democracy were set. Since the end of feudal relations did not occur at the same time on the territory of former Yugoslav countries, multiparty political organization of the society developed in different time periods. This paper deals firstly with political and party life in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the beginning of the 20th century up to modern times. Social situation in the neighbourhood is also considered in the context of significant interdependency and affinity with political relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Irrespective of social and economical relations and social situation in which the political parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina arose, functioned and stopped working under certain name, they all had one mutual characteristic that might be determined as an attempt of national establishment and national identification (Bosniak, Croatian and Serbian identity) within multiethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina and their constitutional equality.
