Abstract
When many countries completed transitional reforms and fulfilled conditions
for a European perspective at the end of this century, then multi-ethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina
(BH / BiH) constitutive and (post) transition challenges are both an initial and a
prolonged state. According to Annex 4 of the Dayton Accords (1995), BH is a democratic
state and therefore equitable, in which Croats are a constituent people, who in the Federation
form an Entity with Bosniaks who are the majority, and both Entities, the Federation
and RS are constituted by the sovereign state of BiH . The Dayton Accords are in most
cases at the expense of Croats, who go to all the subjects who advocate for change and
non-partisan democracy; the interventions of the international office of the High Representative
in the sense of building a civil society are the moves that in most cases correspond
to and support the centralism of the other two peoples, especially the Bosniaks. (Non)
equality lasts from 2000 to today, in all areas and levels, and is most representative in four
cases, high level positions in the state and federation. In particular, the paper will analyze
how in recent years scientific and socio-political forms have been subject to numerous
discussions, analyzes, actions and declarations with proposals for necessary state restructuring
and electoral changes. At this intersection of the paths and internationalization of
(non) equality of Croats, given that B & H lies between the process of (non)equality and
“status quo”, equality is the form of consociation and one of the conditions of a sustainable
and European perspective BH.
Keywords
(Non)equality of Croats; Rearrangement of B & H; Consociational Democracy; Electoral Law; Tripartite State; Political Action.
