Sažetak

The basic aim of this paper is to provide a theoretical deliberation of a political position of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It starts from the imminent fact of the
political marginalisation which is a repercussion of the tyranny of the majority process.
By interpreting two contemporary classics of political thought, Mancur Olson and Hanna
Arendt, we try to prove that the Croats must constitute themselves into a political form
of “organised minority” in order to compensate for their demographical inferiority. Furthermore, we want to prove that the response to the majority hegemony is an additional
democratic effort which will result in so called contrademocracy. The later implies that the
Croat political elites will organise institutions under their control on the highest efficiency
level and that they will ensure the presence of best people in all positions of responsibility
by their personnel policy. Organised minority can be constituted into inevitable political
subject which will be a constituent subject of all future political system changes and which
will influence public thinking of majority by its organisation and political efficiency. Finally,
we claim that the process of creating efficient institutions would result in some sort of
institutional patriotism which would compensate for the lack of basic consensus about
common statehood and create the conditions for the creation of more just and sustainable
Bosnia and Herzegovina.
