Summary/Abstract: Intentions of some inner and international factors to create an assimilating unique political community in Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot come up with an effective solution because there are no preconditions for the realization of such possibility in the BH society. The only realistic and possible thing to be done is to accept the existing national unique traits of the three dominant communities and to accept the political reality which says that a complex political system cannot be changed through strenghtening its efficiency and worsening the status of equality. In a complex society, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is only possible through the institutional framework which possesses accommodation capacities to achieve stability of a political system which can consolidate the structures and rules and which is capable of putting political and social factors into mutual interaction.
