Summary/Abstract: Usually at this place of the conference proceedings, some final re-marks and conclusions of on the three main topics of the conference should be presented. However, some of the biggest names of PIL presented their paper at the conference, at the Faculty of Law in Zenica, and submitted their papers with conclusions in these conference proceedings. There is no need or space left for additional conclusions. In addition, the topic of states with more than one legal system is a very important topic for Bosnia and Herzegovina who belongs to the group of only three states in Europe with such complex legal system and Art.36 of the Succession Regulation brings some important changes with regards to this question of EU PIL. In the first part, the paper will focus on the obligation of (potential) candidate states to harmonize their national PIL with EU law even before becoming member of the EU. In the second part it will focus on the question how to harmonize the national laws of (potential) candidate states with the EU PIL provisions on states with more than one legal system (“multi-unit states”).
