Summary/Abstract: We can agree that in the field of social protection in Bosnia and Herzegovina, confusion prevails because of lack of social policies at the state level, and misunderstanding the basic concepts of social protection, social insurance, social assistance and social needs. Contribution to this situation was made by laws that were enacted at different levels and also their disparity in the definition of rights, the categorization as well as the amount of financial benefits for the same categories of socially vulnerable citizens. By this manner, authorities at all levels contribute to further violations of civil rights and discrimination among citizens, particularly those socially most vulnerable.
