Abstract

Regarding the segment of the judiciary, whose independence, impartiality, professionalism and unharmed integrity represents the sine qua non of the rule of law and legal and general security, at all levels, it is necessary to point out that Bosnia and Herzegovina already since the nineties and in accordance with its constitutional guarantees, is oriented towards the systematic judiciary reform, on its determined path towards EU memberschip. Besides the fact that a very important, if not the decisive role in the BiH negotiations for EU accession, plays chapter 23 "Judiciary and human rights" and chapter 24 "Justice, freedom and security", steps which already have been taken for a more complete implementation of the principle where all citizens have equal access to justice and equal status before the law, is of crucial importance for the overall democratic progress and status of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
