Summary/Abstract: General Framework Agreement for Peace in BiH or BiH Constitution from 1995. resulted in radical constitutional changes in a way that it introduced two entirely new categories into BiH constitutional system: entities and constituent peoples. By their constitutional positioning, the core values, rights and interests of the state of BiH and its citizens were questioned. The points of views, that are denying BiH statehood and sovereignty of its citizens, appeared. Such attitudes are generally not based on science, or positive law, but they have a great impact in the creation of socio - political relations in BiH. Analysis of the BiH Constitution and decisions of the BiH Constitutional Court confirms the unbreakable connection of BiH statehood and sovereignty of its citizens. The quantity of entities’ competence and rights of the constituent peoples do not give them the qualities possessed by BiH and its citizens related with statehood and sovereignty.
