Reflecting on the implementation of the Judgement passed by the European Court of Human Rights in the case of Sejdić and Finci versus Bosnia and Herzegovina, she pointed out that reconciliation of civil and national concept is an important issue which is being opened and that essentially, this is firstly political and only secondly a legal issue.
