Summary/Abstract: By adopting amendments to the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, High Representative Valentin Inzko regulated the ban on denial of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, thus stirring up passions in the relations between political elites in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this paper, the author analyzes the possible problem of restricting freedom of expression by regulating the prohibition of denial of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes with “Inzko’s law”. In addition, the author discusses the possible implications of the adopted amendments to the Criminal Code of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in that sense, the author considers the achievements of the adopted amendments in the future.
