Abstract
Future issues - human rights and freedom, democracy as a fundamental principle of life, higher living standards, greater level of security - these are basic questions to which is directed collective energy of European societies. The fulfillment of these conditions is placed as a task in all transitional societies which want to join the EU. The issue of post-conflict societies, however, is a challenge to the theoretical and the pragmatic level, especially if the sources of conflict are in areas such as ethnic or confessional. For some of these societies, it is difficult to be classified into a group of post-conflict societies because a social conflict in them, which they still have, has the intensity that puts them in conflict societies. The case of BiH society is, by its manifestations, a characteristic example of just such a society. And it is, and also some of the issues related to European values in conflict societies, in the center of analysis in this paper. And what is most important, all these issues are connected to a system of public communication.
