Summary/Abstract: The author analyzes the current political developments in Bosnia– Herzegovina, as well as different views on the future constitution of the country that have the local (ethno) national elites of Bosniaks, croats and Serbs. In this sense, the author states that there are certain indications that the announced reform of the constitutional system of one of Bosnian entities – the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina carried out so as to form a “mega–cantons“. That will actually realized by the domination of ethnic principle and would be completed the same process initiated by the Dayton Peace Accords (1995). Special emphasis in this analysis, the author puts the external influence of the European Union, the Russian Federation and Turkey to Bosnian political leaders. In this sense, he nevertheless concludes that “European path“ of Bosnia–Herzegovina will be accelerating, but also that Turkey and Russia will try to preserve strengthened impact in the region of the Western Balkans.
