Abstract
The author believes that one cannot accept the opinion that the Balkan
war defies all frameworks of modem politicaJ theories and is thus a
conceptually undefinable muddle of inexplicable and unsurveyable
circumstances. He resorts to the work of Carl Schmitt which concentrates
upon two codes prompted by situations: the relationship of politlcs and law
and the relationship of politics and war. With the help of Schmitt's conceptual
distinctions he analyzes three diachronical processes: the disintegration of
the Yugoslav federation,the disintegration of real socialism, and the end of
the cold war.
