Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the implementation of the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and highlights the dificulties along the way. The author detected a different reception of the content, messages and implications of certain provisions and imperatives of the Peace Agreement in BiH with the former belligerent parties in the civil war in BiH, ie. among the legitimate representatives of the three constituent peoples in BiH, who are the bearers of its constitution and the entire architecture on which is based the Dayton BiH. By analyzing several annexes of the Dayton Peace Agreement, e.g. of Annexes lV, Vll and Vlll, the author showed that the norms from those annexes have one semantics within the Serbian national corpus, the other (different one) at Bosniaks, while at Croats it is perceived in a third way. As a result of that, and some other contents, i.e. obstruction of the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement, it has not been implemented to the end, nor is that end in sight soon.
