Summary/Abstract: The introduction of anti-discrimination law in the legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is certainly a significant step that puts Bosnia and Herzegovina on its way to the membership of EU, but also makes an important step forward in eradicating of social inequality and injustice caused by years of prejudice towards the other and different. Regulating anti-discrimination issues through legal framework provides the legal basis to protect any individual or group of people in our society, but, only understanding of these concepts provides full and effective protection, which is why it is necessary to pre-acquainted with the very concept of discrimination, its subjects, grounds, and permitted measures of protection and its justifications. Of course, it is, in addition to theoretical knowledge, necessary to have insight in practical approach of the anti-discrimination legislation, and that will be the topic of this work.
