Summary/Abstract: After a terrible civil war, Bosnia and Hercegowina (BiH) has been reconstructed politically in 1995. The complexity of the political structure, however, makes BiH fragile due to different conflicting interests of the respecitve ethnicities. This ethnical nationalism and a weak administration of BiH as a whole make economic transition more difficult. Compared to other central-east and south-east states transformation could start in BiH only later and with support respectively under pressure from outside. To alleviate the problems accompanying the difficult transformation which should stabilise the fragile construction of the state. In this article we present a draft outlinig the core elements of a modern system of social security for BiH as a plan for the political stabilization of the country.
