This text discusses the results of European elections in Croatia. It reaches the conclusion that voters, unhappy with the economic situation, punished the ruling social democratic coalition which suffered a heavy defeat. On the other hand, election results prove the recovery of HDZ, the opposition, centre-right party. It is also obvious that most Croatian citizens do not believe that European elections are important enough to warrant voting. Euroscepticism in Croatia is on the rise because citizens see no obvious benefits from joining the European Union. On the contrary, it is becoming increasingly clear that, in its first year as a member, Croatia will pay more funds into EU budget than it will receive from it. It is evident that direct elections of European Parliament members did not succeed in strengthening EU’s legitimacy in the eyes of Croatian voters, and that European elections are actually of secondary importance.

On the example of Bosnia and Herzegovina the goal of text is to rethink the consequences of application of the direct democracy mechanisms in the context of deeply divided societies. So the question is: How would mechanisms of direct democracy function in an ethnically divided society which has not reached a consensus on the basic values of the political community? It was felt that direct democracy could help to overcome national divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and emphasized that the existing model of consociational democracy was not only incapable of offering the solution for their country, but was a source of new divisions. The first part of the text will endeavor to outline the general causes of the crisis of representative democracy. The state of democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be shown in the second part. The final part will feature the analysis of the structure of political decision-making in order to ascertain which political option, left or right, actually benefits from direct democracy. In spite of a number of questions that arise from the potential implementation of direct democracy in Bosnian-Herzegovinian circumstances, the text will lead to conclusion that this type of democracy should not be completely discarded and that on the certain issues it can be a useful addition to the parliamentary democracy.

Zasadniczym założeniem tekstu jest ponowna analiza mechanizmów demokracji bezpośredniej w społeczeństwach głęboko podzielonych, na przykładzie Bośni i Hercegowiny. Podstawowym pytaniem stało się zatem: jak mechanizmy demokracji bezpośredniej funkcjonują w społeczeństwie, które jest złożone z wielu narodów, a narody nie osiągnęły pozrozumienia co do podstawowych wartości. Istniało domniemanie, że mechanizmy demokracji bezpośredniej mogły wpłynąć na przezwyciężenie narodowych różnic w Bośni i Herzegowinie. W artykule zostają zanalizowane procesy decydowania politycznego.
