Pravi ciljevi Sjedinjenih država i Evropske unije na Balkanu
The real aims of the USA and the EU in the Balkans

Summary/Abstract: The article explores the real aims of the so-called international community, which is usually understood as the USA, as the only remaining super power, and the European Union, particularly France, Great Britain and Germany. The author argues that the real and particularly long-term aims of these powers should be primarily inferred from their real deeds and only subsequently from public statements of their officials. By analyzing a number of examples in the Balkans and in other parts of the world the author comes to unexpected conclusions. While in words big Western powers supported multi-ethnicity and preservation of multi-ethnic states, in deeds they not only instigated nationalism and separatism but also hastened and recognized the dissolution of three European federations into 22 more or less national states. And while in words they apparently supported so-called democratization, in practice they not only supported authoritarian regimes but also identified democracy with occupation in Republika Srpska.
