DRŽAVOTVORNOST ETNIČKOG I ENTITETSKOG U USTAVU BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE
STATEHOOD OF ETHNIC AND ENTITY ASPECTS IN THE CONSTITUTION OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: Ethnic and entity contents of the constitutional norms are present throughout the Constitution, from the preamble to the concluding provisions. Formally, the Constitution uses the term „people“, but in the essence, it is the political nation as a political community, which aspires to realize itself through the state. Statehood of the ethnic and entity aspects have, as a consequence, the contradiction of the constitutional norms and mixture of political and legal content, thus making the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina a contradictory political-legal document. Property and possibility of a statehood subject to form and reorganize a state through the constitutional power represent the essential issue of the existence and functioning of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks, as the constitutive peoples (ethnic nations), are the three equal statehood subjects organized through the two statehood entities, as the two federal units.
