Abstract
The European charter also determines the obligation of establishing and
comprehensive helping to the functioning of the so called trans-border televisions.
Countries which have their minorities or a part of nation, who
is constitute and sovereign in other countries, have a right and obligation,
together with those countries, to provide them the electronic media and
a TV channel in their mother tongue. That right is thwarted and even
legally forbidden in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Arranging of the electronic
media space, which is in Bosnia and Herzegovina implemented by the
international community, is a real presentation of the internal constitutional
structure which is imposed by the same community. Processes
of globalization and models of the liberal-democratic arrangement serve
only as an excuse and justification of the complete political and cultural
unitarianism of a country and unjust division of BiH in two entities, although
it is a country of three sovereign nations.
Keywords
