Abstract
Ethnic minorities and conflicts connected with them have always been one of the most significant security problems of the international community. The persistence of ethnic conflicts in certain parts and the difficulties in their solving have resulted in the flare-up of many armed clashes, dissolution of multiethnic states, changing of borders and demographic relations. In spite of all the greater security challenges and needs, there still cannot be talk of some completely unified and generally accepted model of solving national minorities' problems. Obviously, that will precisely present itself as all the more indispensable need of the international community in the 21st century. Starting from these attempts, the basic security problems are being discussed which are caused by unsolved ethnic relations in the countries and among the countries in South-Eastern Europe.
