We prove that any holomorphic, homogenous vector bundle admits a homogenous minimal metric—a metric for which the Hermitian-Einstein tensor is diagonal in a suitable sense. The concept of minimality depends on the choice of the Jordan-Holder filtration of the corresponding parabolic module. We show that the set of all admissible Hermitian-Einstein tensors of certain class of minimal metrics is a convex subset of the euclidean space. As an application, we obtain an algebraic criterion for semistability of homogenous holomorphic vector bundles.
