Summary/Abstract: During the whole 20th century, the concept of political action as an ethnic-religious representation was dominated in Bosnia, recognizable in some separating-excluding “ethnic key” as a criterion of equality among people. It almost seems that there is no other model of the political organization of the community. Bosnia was continuously offered by ethnic-religious representation as a sense of existence, and Bosnia-belonging and the unifying Bosnian state-political opinion were suppressed as the basis of action. The fact is that in the first decades of the 21st century we have no democratic result from such positioning of political action. The ethno-political political paradigm continues and the attempt to record political system in which “ethnic-confessional groups” are political subjects.Ethnocracy is closely connected to the conservative mentality and religious institutions that have become the key creators of political attitudes and estimates of „our people“. The domination of exclusion as a political model led the society and the state to inconceivable forms of stagnancy, irresponsibility and hypocrisy. Because of that, it is imposed the demand for the formation of Bosnian politics that goes beyond the ethnic-religious political organization and offers openness to Bosnian ethatistical politics. The basis for such request is the view that the entire narration about "ethnic-religious" falls under the area of culture and identity issues, and unjustified makes confusion in which the legal-political dimension of the functioning of the state deliberately mixes with the tribal and folk concepts belonging to some feudal, pre-modern and racist-segregation ideologies. In this absurdly mess of religion, politics, nationalism and totalitarian tendencies, the whole of human life in society and the state is trying to be reduced to the ethnic-religious existence of human groups as only possible. Reductionism which is active essentially counterfeits human lives and limits freedom.
