Summary/Abstract: Thirteen years after signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement and contrary to the outspread expectations of international community and Bosnia-Herzegovinian politicians and citizens, Bosnia and Herzegovina is still unsustainable as a state. Poverty is the impending phenomenon in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the same degree as Bosnia and Herzegovina’s surviving is uncertain. At the beginning of the process of transition in 1992, Bosnia and Herzegovina opened the door of the political labyrinth, and since the Dayton Agreement was signed in 1995, Bosnia and Herzegovina opened two doors: a door of economic and a door of religious labyrinth. These days in year 2008, Bosnia and Herzegovina is lost in the labyrinth without even dim indicators on the horizon of the way of exiting it. Such “unexpected” state of Bosnia-Herzegovinian society is the function of mistakes made by domestic and international political and economic decision-makers, and which are based on unsophisticated interpretations of democracy towards which Bosnia and Herzegovina has headed since the beginning of 1990s. In this article, we will try to consider shortly all three sub-labyrinths as well as lessons which (could) help as starting point for finding way out of the labyrinth.
