For most of their history, people have lived a "migration culture". By moving from one place to another, they created conveniences for themselves, but often also conflicts. The system of states established since the Neolithic revolution has created barriers for the movement of people in the form of political borders, but also cultural ones, because each political area built its own specific sociality and norms of behavior. Today, the world of the poor and the rich is set in motion in the direction of East and South towards West and North. In 2014, Europe demonstrated its inability to receive all migrants and integrate them. The migrant crisis has become a dominant political issue in Europe. It is particularly reflected in divided and post-conflict societies. Such is Bosnia and Herzegovina, which maintains peace and political order through systemic solutions of "checks and balances", and policies of mutual negotiation, accommodation and consensus. However, major geopolitical, economic and social crises, such as the migrant crisis, are a test for political parties in divided and post-conflict societies, from which such societies often emerge even more divided and conflicted. The migrant crisis showed inter-party differences, the complexity of national-party relations, and especially the structural and functional weaknesses of institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She opened up two key questions: the possibility of changing the national-religious map of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the social capabilities of its authorities, primarily entity authorities, which primarily implement social policies. This work is multidisciplinary in nature. It belongs to the field of political theory and the field of social policies
