Summary/Abstract: Prohibited agreements as an unauthorized form of competition in competition law in our country are regulated by the Law on Competition of Bosnia and Herzegovina (“Official Gazette of Bosnia and Herzegovina”, No. 48/05, 76/07 and 80/09, hereinafter referred to as BiH Competition Law) , and it is the same regulated issue of the appearance of these agreements, the permissible exemptions, the consequences of prohibited agreements, the procedure of initiating and conducting the proceedings, and establishing the existence of prohibited agreements as well as sanctions for the same. These agreements are also called monopoly agreements. The BiH Competition Law is almost entirely in line with EU regulations in this area, and this compliance stems from the fact that harmonization used the technique of “rewriting” European legislation. The subject of this paper is the presentation and analysis of legal sources of prohibited agreements as an unauthorized form of competitive action in competition law at the level of the European Union and at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
