Regionalna saradnja na Balkanskom poluostrvu početkom XX i XXI veka: sličnosti i razlike
Regional Cooperation on the Balkan Peninsula at the beginning of the XX and XXI Centuries: Similarities and Differences

Summary/Abstract: The authors of this paper highlight the main trends in the origin and development of regional initiatives in the Balkans since the beginning of the XXI century (the Balkan Pact and the Little Entente), as well as the similarities and differences with today’s dominant forms of multilateral cooperation in this region of Europe (particularly the Regional Cooperation Council, the Berlin Process and the “Open Balkans”). Therefore, the authors will indicate the international influences on the configuration of regional cooperation in the Balkans over the aforementioned periods, as well as how much it is affected by the complexity of relations between the regional states and their internal circumstances. Furthermore, they will discuss how the historical divisions among the Balkan states are reflected in the dynamics of regional cooperation. In this regard, they point out certain parallels between the organizational forms of cooperation in the region, their working methods, and internal procedures around the turn of the century and the previous century.
