Sažetak
Due to the complex social, ethnical and religious composition of its democratic structures, not to mention the fragile political equilibrium in Western Balkan area, there is an urgent need for an applicable democratic model to appropriately fit such a situation. Generally, there are at stake two alternatives, two rather competing models of democracy. These are aggregative democracyand deliberative democracy. In view of the lack of quality debate preceding decision- making processes, which is especially pronounced in the region of the Western Balkans, we hold that introducing of deliberative democracy can be an appropriate mean for strengthening the democratic processes. Accordingly, the aim of the article is to present some aspects of theory and practice of deliberative democracy and on possibilities of practical application of specific competences and skills in particular situations and environments. In accomplishingthis goal, we are going to focus on:a) the idea of deliberative democracy and the legislative and ethical frameworks for implementing agreed solutions, and b) theoretical model of rational deliberative argumentation analyzing a notions of deliberative group and the structure of argumentative process, c) prospects of its applicability.
