Summary/Abstract: In the theoretical debates about the state of Bosnia and Herezgovina and the position of the Republic of Srpska in this country as well as the Dayton in general in the last ten years in the Republic of Srpska prevailing two political strategy. One refers to the legal nature of the Dayton Agreement under which this act is perceived as an international agreement concluded between the two entities of the State Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The second relates to the character of the state organization of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the prevailing attitudes that Bosna and Herzegovina is a confederation of entities and the entities have transfered, willingly, a part of their jurisdiction to the level of Bosnia and Herzegoivna . Those strategies have become the basis of political activity of almost all political parties in the Republic of Srpska with the conviction that on the basis of the strategy the statehood of the Republic of Srpska would strengthen the statehood. Those strategies, despite the broad support, they lack two essential elements: they were not made in public democratic debate, but were imposed by the party elite and have no merits in the constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina or the Entity Constitutions. From the above can be seen the necessity the strategies mentioned should be debated in public in the Republic of Srpska and critically object essential elements these strategies are based on.
