Evropski odgovor za evropski problem
European Response to a European Problem

Summary/Abstract: This paper starts with the hypothesis that the attitude of EU toward the disintegration of Yugoslavia, and particularly to the Kosovo intricacies, suspended the principles on which it was founded and those it promoted. In that way it undermined peace consensus and the consensus that state borders should not be changed in a violent way, by which it contributed to disturbing the rule of law, rehabilitation of the use of force and spreading chaos and confusion. The author finds that EU resorted to use of non-European responses because of its hegemonic aspirations and because it found it necessary to discipline and pacify Serbia. At the end of the paper the author mentions the contradictions of realism which does not fully develop the consequences of its pragmatism.
