Summary/Abstract: The erasure of reality and constructions of virtual politic scene in the region of B&H, is being conducted in a sort of cycles that, as time passes by, became more and more narrow, reducing itself into images of political leaders inmedia in direct, unfinished public act – a vortex of meaningless symbols addressed to no one. The collaboration of politics, media and PRs in constructing of reality and fashioning of a theatrical state with public similar to that at courts (Meyer 2003) and in the perfect crime of killing the reality (Baudrillard) has been based on media-political spectacle structured around the contemporary media production basis and constructing of reality in a kind of political and PR media colonizing, and colonization of politics previously exposed to PR processes.
