Summary/Abstract: The Private International Law Act in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not harmonized with the acquis of the European Union. Future legislative intervention in this area is primarily conditioned by the process of joining Bosnia and Herzegovina to the European Union. Bearing in mind the year of adoption and entry into force of this Act, it is not surprising that numerous legal institutes of contemporary private international law, present not only in EU legislation and international conventions, but also in national codifications of private international law of other countries, remained unknown to this law. Considering the complex constitutional structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the division of legislative responsibilities, which in the case of regulation of private law relations, including those with a foreign element, are placed under the jurisdiction of the entities (FBiH, RS, BD) the authors analyze possible solutions and directions for future reform of this Act.
