Summary/Abstract: After the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) with the help of the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) in 1991, contrary to the Constitution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), declared the Serbian Autonomous Region (SAO) Krajina in Croatia. SDS BiH started the process of establishing Serbian autonomous regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the same (illegal) way - first by declaring municipal communities, and then by the policy of ‘regionalization’. According to the model of Serbian autonomous regions, two Croatian communities have been proclaimed in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The author analyzes the process of declaring illegal autonomous regions and communities which, through the unilateral territorial reorganization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, will be the introduction to the establishment of the self-proclaimed Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in January 1992 and the Croatian Republic of Herceg-Bosna in August 1993.
