Summary/Abstract: The European Union wants to have countries that have emerged from conflict, with a stable internal constitutional and legal structure, built state mechanism capable of communicating, particularly with regard to implementation of its decisions, ethnic co-existence, repaired war consequences, good relations with its neighbours, active economic foundation. Bosnia and Herzegovina as a country that has emerged from the war conflict and its possibilities for entering the European Union represents the topic of this paper. In this country numerous crimes have been committed, including the worst one that is genocide, civilian population were killed and injured, buildings were destroyed and devastated, concentration camps were formed, the constitutional order was destroyed, the values of this state were destroyed, ethnic homogenization was created, with the dominance of the national criteria. This paper discusses several aspects, whose implementation in Bosnia and Herzegovina produces the conditions for European integrations. It is about confronting the past, the transitional justice, the civil society, the constitutional adjustment of the legal structure to the institutional mechanism of the EU, the prevention of genocide and other crimes.
