Summary/Abstract: The equality of Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs and citizens is the basis of Bosnia and Herzegovina, their common and indivisible homeland. National equality is the realization of collective human rights. Constitutivity is the constitutional mechanism by which it is realized. There is no majority and minority nor re-vote but an agreement is needed. Constitutional mechanisms to ensure constitutivity must be modified. This will prevent the blockage of institutions. Abolition of constitutivity and so-called civic principle of „one man one vote“ destabilizes the country.
