Изградња европског социјалног модела - координација националних социјалних политика у Европској унији
Building up the European social model - Coordination of national social policies in the European Union

Summary/Abstract: The concept of the European social model in the past two decades has been subject of scientific dis-cussion among researchers active in the field of social policy of the European Union. The formulation of a common policy in the social sphere implied the determination of basic values shared by all Member States, as well as the implementation of such values in the legislative practice. Main objectives of this article are analysis of the European social model concept and synthesizing knowledge about ways of coordinating various social security systems at EU level, which contribute to the implementation of this concept in practice. Reviewing the coordination mechanisms, special emphasis is given to the devel-opment of soft method that changes and enriches the discourse of coordination. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the harmonization of national social policies is most present in the field of labour law, along with expanding the scope of the European Union competences in another area of social policy.
