Sažetak
The author pledges for the accession of the entire region of Southeast Europe to NATO, arguing that this is a key precondition for the accession to a regional organization, which truly produces good vibrations throughout Europe and the world - the European Union.
The author shows how the EU brings peace and high civilization standards to the region. The European Uni on, namely, is a 'peace project', it produces security already due to the fact that it represents 'something between' a supranational and an interstate form of organization of sovereign states, which is a sui generis creation, whose strength is contained in what, at first glance, appears as its weakness - the phenomenon of divisible and transferable sovereignty and, consequentially, a complex form of 'governance beyond national s tate'. Besides, it also represents a new form of political culture - a culture of dialogue and compromise. This 'lobbying' for accession of West Balkan countries to the European Union stems from realizing that, through this trans-ethnic, regional, and European accession, they would solve, both short- and long-term, their own and mutual problems, which could not be the case without the 'umbrella' called the EU.
