Abstract

In the last two decades, especially since 2003, planetary trends, and therefore the Western Balkan countries, are affacted by unforeseeable intensity of social differences in the stratification between rich and poor. Those differencies become insurmountable with the conclusion that this negative trend, which is affecting the whole world, is deepening as
indicated by the fact that Europe and the world are aware of the economic and social imbalances and stratification. Although, there is a slight attempt to change the essence, the current situation is out of control. As for the countries of the Balkans, in particular Bosnia and Herzegovina, social differences are in number of reasons and facts insurmountable. After the war, in which most of the population remained without property, smaller number earned enormous capital on smuggling oil, weapons, cigarettes, food, etc., therefore earned millions on the basis of thievery and became owners of various firms and companies. Due to these circumstances the procces of privatization in which many companies have disappeared and
their property looted has began. In that anarchic movement, diametrically and unsuspected, middle class, has rapidly disappearing, With this, economic and political stability in society disappears irretrievably, whoes consequences and direction can be hardly seen.
