Abstract
As B&H is a specific state and a democracy under construction, it is difficult to expect significant changes in terms of hate speech, as long as it is normal for politicians to sow hatred expecting to reap votes in elections, while a good number of citizens help them by voting for them. Neither the engagement of the civil sector, nor the international community, nor even state bodies can be too successful in eliminating hate speech unless a majority citizens decide to punish politicians who use hate speech by not giving them their vote. Thus, their harvest would be unsuccessful, and the public could eventually send them into retirement from the position of labourer of hatred.
