Институционална будућност Европске уније
Institutional future of the European Union

Summary/Abstract: The European Union was founded on cultural, religious, and humanist European heritage. Based on this fact, universal values, which are not only inalienable and inviolable human rights but also the generally accepted values of freedom, democracy, equality, and the rule of law, were developed on the soil of the European continent. The European Union could not fully rely on the American experience, where there is an assimilation factor of the English language, nor on the Chinese experience, where 80 percent of the population is made up of the Han ethnic group. Therefore, the motto of the European Union is “United in Differences”. The institutional system of the European Union expresses the interests of the countries that founded it, but also of its citizens, through the democratic institution of the European Parliament. At this moment, there is a need to make its institutional system more efficient through comparative processes and to establish a clear programme for the admission of new member states from the Western Balkans. In addition, the European Union intends to protect its external borders, initiate an active demographic policy, and try to develop a more independent foreign and defence policy in relation to its American ally.
