Sažetak
South-eastern Europe is a region of rather small countries, covered by the Stability Pact, which allows them easier access to the European Union. Part of South-eastern Europe is called the Western Balkans which is referred to as the region of Southeast Europe. The Western Balkans are marked by negativity and violence. Some countries located in a small part of the Balkans, as well as those that are marginal countries of the Balkans, believe that they are not part of the Balkans and do not want to be called Balkan countries because their name is derogatory given the past of the Western Balkans. The Republic of Croatia also belongs to these countries, which usually deny that they are in any way connected to the (Western) Balkans. Given the past and low development, it is very difficult for small countries to meet all the criteria for joining the European Union. Croatia has managed to become a full member of the EU and can provide other countries with extensive experience and advice in the same. The European Union wants the countries of Southeast Europe to join the EU, but it has set important criteria to ensure that certain countries become stronger by joining them and join the European Union. It is a great struggle, but every country, with a certain help and guidance of the EU, should have enough time and space.
