Sažetak
The current crisis of the European project is so strong that it is already talking about it in binary options: reform or disintegration of the EU (with a new grouping). When considered in the framework of reforms emphasizes the idea of strengthening European unity through fiscal and political unification. In the end, to unite at new levels led to to the emergence of the United States of Europe. Fiscal unification is already implemented through the harmonization of taxes (tax on financial transaction, european VAT) and control of public spending in the states, and a package of penal measures for disobedience (eg. Euro plus pact, Pact of competitiveness, Pact of stability and growth, single supervision of banks). However, already at the level of these partial measures targeting the saving appear first major obstacles the project of European federalisation. The fiasco of the European financial sector pushed the states toward economic policy which works to the interests of banking sector and stop the economic growth and development. In terms of market orthodoxy it is necessary means continuation of dismantling welfare states. The lack of economic growth and socialization of debts are the most powerful forces of disintegration. Because of fiscal consolidation, economic stagnation and impoverishment of the population boost national protectionism and political forces that have, say the least, democratic deficits. The same kinds of criticism have long been referred to the EU institutions. However, this insufficiency up to now justified with an economic and market reasons sufficient for the survival of European unity. During the construction of political unification problem of lagging democratization of the EU political space gets the sharpness and importance. Future transfer of the political sovereignty of the nation-state to the European federation would lead to a sharp left and right opposition. Hardest will oppose those who believe that EU has never created enough clear worlviews, and political and democratic basis for union. Because, as it known, federalism has no inherent political values or by itself can achieve defined policy objectives. Not at all did not matter which political party, left or right, dominated the parliament of a European federation. As can not resolve the economic and political problems the federalization not do much to overcome recent cultural (eg. behavior toward «southern» countries) and other european split. But uncertain fate of european market project and mentioned problems in the way of building political union are at the same time call for a new and stronger commitment to build some form of federation. It's foundation should be placed on strengthening democracy and social solidarity, both within the member states and within their borders, rather than solely on «bank accounting». Therefore, in this paper, through political and economic analysis and critique of proposals for the reform of EU, examines the radical changes that will for decades strongly influence European unification (or detachment), but also to the general dvelopment of countries in southeastern Europe which want to become EU members.
