Sažetak
Changes that have occurred in the territory of South-Eastern Europe, primarily since the Dayton Agreement, can be observed in many ways. The optimistic view would affirm some shifts achieved with the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, slow return of refugees, free flow of communications and gradual reestablishment of relations among former belligerents. Changes in Croatia brought about after 3rd January and the fall of Milošević, beside the formation of coalition of parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina, have also been extracted as positive signs of changes. But on the other side, the whole range of open problems (relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia) show that the region is far from the security content, such as it exists in other parts of Europe. Unstable security, as a characteristic of development in South-Eastern Europe, in the first part of the its term points at all the instabilities which will probably continue to exist in this region for long time. On the other hand, the security confirms the shifts that have been achieved as well as the fact that due to series of internal reasons and the presence of NATO in the region, there are no possibilities for some major conflicts to break out. The international community is still regarded as necessary along with a demand to achieve a uniform political will in the strategy of activities, to realise that there is a need to stay in these parts for longer time, to combine all the available means and, if it comes to eventual formation of the European common armed forces, to count exactly on this part of Europe as a fertile ground for their employment.
