The critical analysis of the decision of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina no. AP 4207/13 of September 30, 2016. It starts from the hypothesis that neither positive law nor comparative law has any basis to enable (unreserved and unlimited) the right of legal inheritance between non-marital partners, who have the possibility to marry and then consume the legal right of inheritance.
