The article presents the analysis of the competences and constitutional position of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In case of this country, there are a number of unique political arrangements, because under the Dayton Peace Agreement from 1995, ending the bloody war, representatives of the international community play a significant role in political system. The Constitutional Court is a case in point, as one-third of the court consists of foreign judges. Starting the study, the author hypothesised that the presence and participation of these judges, on the one hand, allowed the Constitutional Court to avoid the typical purely ethnic division of authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina leading to ethnocratic solutions, but on the other hand, it indicates the still incomplete state sovereignty that has persisted for almost 30 years. The hypothesis was verified based on research methods appropriate to social sciences, primarily institutional and legal, as well as a case study.
