The Need to Change the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: The existing Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) makes it possible to make progress in establishing a modern, functional and cheaper country. It is exclusively a matter of political will to what extent the possibilities offered by the Constitution will be used and to what extent the constitutions of the Entities and the Brcko District and the laws at all levels will be adjusted to it. However, it is also clear that some of the regulations of the existing Constitution of BiH have to be changed in order to be coordinated with the European Convention on Human Rights and Freedoms and its protocols. This is primarily about the demand for establishing such constitutional organizations that would guarantee equality to all citizens of BiH, regardless the ethnic origins. Furthermore, there is an acute need for the ethnic absolute not to determine the Constitution of BiH and for introducing a concept of citizen, on which lay the foundations of the modern democratic constitutions and the modern concept of protection of human rights and freedoms.
