Sažetak
Though the major conflict within the SEE was 20 to 30 years ago, the SEE is still a major vulnerable area that can erupt and dangerously reverberate globally. The SEE is the most important unfinished job of the European unification. Seven countries in the SEE are still not members of the EU, and each enlargement creates at least mild frictions. The SEE has among the lowest employment rates in the world. All socio-economic and political indicators place the SEE countries at the bottom of Europe. The SEE is the major migratory route and within next decades about hundred million people will cross this area. The demographic and economic structures of the SEE aggravate the already vulnerable socio-political conditions. During the last 50 years the scientific activities in SEE countries have appreciably decreased creating a current intellectual vacuum in the most sensitive area – Mediterranean encounter of Africa, Asia and Europe. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a center of scientific excellence in SEE.
