The European Union, South-Eastern Europe and the Europeanization of Croatia

In this paper the author argues that the Europeanization and transition of postcommunist countries are one and the same process. In his opinion the transition is essentially – Europeanization. In South-Eastern Europe this causes a political shift from the nationalist forces to the pro-European forces. The collapse of former Yugoslavia caused a slowdown of Europeanization ; however, if the newly formed nation-states want to prosper and if the European Union wants security and stability on the continent, the process of Europeanization has to be successfully completed.
