Continuities and discontinuities: The constitutional and political development of Bosnia and Herzegovina to 1990

Review of the constitutional and political history of Bosnia and Herzegovina shows that it has lost its statehood during 15th century. Since then it was always part of large state entities and all important political decisions were made outside Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina regained some elements of statehood only during the WW II as a federal unit of the future socialist Yugoslavia. Such development made it unable to function as an efficient and independent political unit after it declared independence in 1992. The article is published in the special issue of the Journal for the Contemporary History dedicated to the role of historians in the processes before the International Criminal Tribunal ; the article was prepared in one of the processes before ICTY.
