INFLUENCE OF THE REMAINS OF TOTALITARIAN PRACTICE ON THE REPRESSIVE STATE INSTITUTIONS WITH ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES

Transition represents a comprehensive process of structural changes and transition "from socialism to capitalism", i.e., the return to the market economy and the civil democracy. The transition process includes changes in all segments of society, especially in the reform of the political system. As a worldwide process it has begun in the '90s of the last century and it is still present in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The transition processes include a wide range of social and political changes, which are particularly obvious in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In fact, not caring for the transition, for the need to change legislative framework in the first place, as well as existing institutions, various political options limitand restrain changes in social awareness. That all lead to the strengthening of the influence of particular interest groups, which ultimately prevent the completion of structural reforms, which have economic consequences for the whole country. In this context, the repressive state institutions without a clear vision and goal and without respect for the law and its own acts, perform activities associated with the various political options, while they have no responsibility for damage caused by such acts, both, individually to persons and to the community in general
