Summary/Abstract: The political processes in Bosnia and Herzegovina are taking place under the influence of the institutional framework imposed by the Dayton Agreement. In the field of political processes most important actors are political parties that actually lead these processes. The party system in Bosnia and Herzegovina was constructed through the provisions of the Dayton Agreement and all the implications that it has on the political system, in fact are the result of the Dayton Agreement. Formal and informal patterns of behavior of political actors and political parties are directly aimed at achieving the objectives agreed upon in Dayton. The situation where political processes are taking place has a democracy deficit, but also the expediency in keeping peace in post-conflict society of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
