1. A method of decoding a bitstream for a video signal, the method comprising:
obtaining inter prediction information for a current block; and
performing an inter prediction for the current block using the obtained inter prediction information;
wherein the obtaining the inter prediction information for a current block comprises:
constructing merge candidates for the current block by including neighboring blocks adjacent to the current block;
adding a candidate generated by combining inter prediction information of a first neighboring block and inter prediction information of a second neighboring block among the neighboring blocks to the merge candidates; and
obtaining merge index information indicating a candidate having inter prediction information corresponding to the inter prediction information for the current block among the merge candidates and merge flag information indicating whether a merge mode is applied to the current block from the bitstream,
wherein the inter prediction information includes motion vector information and a reference picture index, and
wherein the merge index information is obtained based on the merge flag information.
