Summary/Abstract: Social inclusion is a process which ensures that persons, who fall into risk group and who are in threat of poverty and social exclusion, are given an opportunity and necessary resources in order to fully participate in economic, social and cultural life, and also the opportunity to enjoy a standard of living and prosperity, which is considered normal in a society in which they live. By social inclusion is ensured that an individual is fully involved in decision making processes directly related to his/her life and access to basic economic, social and political rights. The process of joining the EU provides a basis for strengthening social inclusion in Bosnia and Herzegovina, due to the needs to implement European standards in the context of social exclusion, as well as policies for its reduction. In order to join the European Union, Bosnia and Herzegovina must build capacity to address problem of social exclusion, and fulfill the preconditions relating to the social dimension of the European Union. Therefore, the issue of social inclusion is one of the main issues of development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, because it is important that Bosnia and Herzegovina provide better future to it’s citizens.
