Sažetak
Paper uses federal principles of ‘self-rule’ and ‘shared-rule’ in view to establish
basic theoretical framework, in which rights of constituent groups in multinational countries
can be analysed and juxtaposed. There are varieties of available territorial designs for
accommodation of self-rule in multinational federations, but what matters most for the
equality is to assure symmetric position of ‘state-creating’ subjects. Likewise, symmetry is
also required to assure balanced application of shared-rule principle to secure overall institutional
equality foremost in the sense of equal participation, legitimate representation
and empowerment of constituent groups in decision making bodies and processes. Therefore,
next to basic organizational structure electoral provisions come up as second most
important element needed to check the equality and ownership status of constituent groups
in a compound federal state. This approach is further supported by the assessment of
equality of the three constituent peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina as its explicit constitutional
subjects, in terms of redistribution of key elements of power sharing among them.
