Summary/Abstract: Legal and social aspects of integrating soldier care in Bosnia and Herzegovina are highly important and complex questions, requiring multidisciplinary science approach. Essentially, this is one of most sensitive questions in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina that has not been adequately regulated in entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On the state level it has not even considered, and there are no any practical attempts to solve it. Analysing basic rights of war veterans and their family members, regulated on federal and cantonal level in Federacija BiH, one can make an unambiguous conclusion that these regulations were made partly, unevenly and irrationally. Additional rights implementation is left to cantonal authorities that have different financial abilities. This kind of regulation process and rights claim directly affects legal, social and economic uncertainty and instability, not only that of war veterans and their family members, but also that of entities, and the whole state. Due to this situation, the analysis of basics and motivation for integration of rights of war veterans and their family members on the state level is totally justified. Acknowledging the adequacy of discussing this question to understand the presentation better, it is essential to define the meaning of the terms that will be used in this paper.
