Summary/Abstract: Sixteen years after first post-TITO democratic elections, whić resulted in the breakup of ex Yugoslavia, with the referendum, proclamation of independence and international recognition (1992) and bloody interethnic war with catastrophic consequences, Bosnia and Herzegovina has again, in 2006, met with parliamentary and presidential elections. But, regardleš of reinstating peace and partially constituting certain segments of social subsystems, Bosnia and Herzegovina is still not, even today, a completely sovereign state, nor does it have (pro se and inter se) an entirely articulated and structured pro European political life; Above all, the state name itself and the state’s sentinel, the state’s irrational internal (Dayton) constitution with around 13 governments and many ministries, enormous number of irrelevant political parties (92 political parties in a country with leš that four million citizens), destructed regional economy, incompetence of political staff and illiteracy of political figures on all levels, crime and corruption in highest instances, and also parallel presence of institutions of the International community with their (often nondifferentiated) concepts of European future for B&H, do not give a good foundation for activating personal subjectivity of effective state and state marketing, and all is done on damage of the state and the population, whić should have long ago been made into a Nation of Citizens of the State of Bosnia and Herzegovina (questionable is in the sense of state creation, the equalizing of Bosnia and Herzegovina, or actually Bosnians and Herzegovinians?!)
