Sažetak
During the last twenty years South East Europe presented recognizable conflict area in Europe in stabilization of which the EU and the entire international community have invested significant efforts and financial resources. Thus, one of the emerging significant issues in that part of Europe is the Albanian one. Namely, except from prevailing majority in their mother states, Albania and Kosovo, Albanians present very significant and numerous population in Macedonia. Albanian issue is difficult to define as pan-Albanian bid to fulfil the project of Great Albania taking into consideration current political reality of versification of Albanian communities in the region. The only issue which leads to the so called pan-Albanian compromise is that of Kosovo status, while its independence as the first step towards the big Albanian state, is only in the interest of relatively small group of Albanian extremists.
However, in the existing turbulent political surroundings, it is difficult to eliminate the possibility of escalations of new exclusive national ideologies, including Albanian, which is an additional argument in favour of the Euro Atlantic integration process as the only guarantee of the stability in the South East Europe. Negative outcome of the Bucharest
NATO Summit for Macedonia, contributed to destabilization of political relations, emphasising Euro Atlantic perspective of Macedonia as the only framework for development of the stabile multiethnic relations in the multiethnic Macedonian society. The role of Croatia as the guarantor of regional security was seen in the framework of Adriatic Charter activities, gradual enhancement of the regional cooperation and participation in the international efforts for stabilization in this part of Europe.
