Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the author analyzes the key political factors and political events that led to the breakup of the SFRY. Reactions in Slovenia, Croatia and Macedonia to the pressures of the Serbian political elite, as well as reactions in Bosnia and Herzegovina during this period. Responsibilities of BiH’s political elite towards the SFRY and towards BiH, ie the citizens of BiH lead to a referendum on the independence of BiH. The disintegration of Yugoslavia, the international recognition of Bosnia and Herzegovina, represent, in contemporary history, significant historical political events that are difficult to fully explore. The author emphasizes the importance of the democratic, civilized struggle of the political leadership of Bosnia and Herzegovina and international recognition through UN resolutions to preserve the rain of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the behavior of political elites.
