Summary/Abstract: The elaboration of our overall constitutional and legal situation arising from both the 1974 Constitution and the Dayton Agreement (as a Constitutional Amendment) is based on Bosnia and Herzegovina being a legal state with all the characteristics of a social entity. However, the reality is different and in fact Bosnia and Herzegovina hosts four legal systems: the Dayton Constitution; the Federation Constitution; the legal system of Republika Srpska; and the legal system in the areas with a Croat majority. Also, the legal systems of the neighbouring states, Yugoslavia and Croatia, effectively function through the last two-named legal systems.
