Bosnia and Herzegovina, as one of the six republics that made up the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, had a desire for independence and sovereignty after its disintegration, which was not so easily achievable. The declaration of independence sparked a brutal and bloody war that claimed tens of thousands of deaths and millions of displaced people. After the tragic war, Bosnia and Herzegovina received a new political system imposed by the international community under the Dayton Peace Agreement. The end of the war did not mean real peace and a united state, but the unification of three nations in a common space, where this political system quickly proved as extremely dysfunctional, because it did not resolve the central tensions and causes of the civil war, but only consolidated them. The complexity and inefficiency of the political system has led the country to a number of negative consequences in the field of economy and social policy. Bosnia and Herzegovina is therefore today a country with one of the most complex political systems in the world, which must establish the need for common interests, goals and values for its citizens in order to exist, progress and function more effectively.
