Sažetak
In this presentation, author analyses the genesis of the political, economic and cultural development in the Southeast Europe and the main reasons why it has become the well-known zone of instability. Also he assesses into details the two approaches of the main international mediators during the crisis in ex-Yugoslavia – European Union and United States. He analyses the EU’s inadequate response to the crisis in ex-Yugoslavia, genesis of its inability to react properly in the beginning of the conflict and later EU’s efforts for stabilization and enhancement of security and development in the after-war period. He also explains the reasons for initial US indifference towards the crisis in the region as well as reasons that made Washington administration to change the point of view and involve in the process of conflict-solving in this part of Europe. By tackling the issue of current position of countries from the region in their process of pursuing reforms and gaining the full-fledged membership in EU and NATO, the author presents his vision of perspective for this part of Europe and stresses the importance of a more active role of Croatia, as a most developed country, that should be a bonding bridge between the EU and the Southeastern Europe.
