Summary/Abstract: It would not be wrong to define International Relations, in a limited sense, as a discipline that tries to systematically depict the formation of new systems and the elimination of the old ones. Moreover, it draws a framework for the art of diplomacy in an interdependent fashion, with regional conflicts representing one of the most interesting areas. In fact, conflict resolution is an interdisciplinary issue and each conflict requires a sui generis approach. The formation and dissolution of unions cause instability in terms of politics, economics, and security. In this context, the last decade of 20th century has witnessed dramatic developments with the collapse of the Iron Curtain, the fall of Berlin Wall, and revolutions in 1989 which were followed by inevitable dissolution of the Eastern Bloc.
