Summary/Abstract: The main reason for writing this paper is the brutal war started by Serbian-Montenegrin coalition on the territory of what once was Yugoslavia and the inability of the West, especially Europe, to stop it. Having allowed the Serbs to continue the aggression against the Croats, Muslims and other non-Serbian nations with no end in sight, Western politicians made a great mistake the consequences of which are to be felt in Europe for generations. If we take a look at the cultural and historical circumstances in Europe, we shall always find examples that depart from moral and ethical rules. We can always talk about oppression of the freedom of think and speech. According to the Indian system of philosophy, our planet is entering a period of spiritual disintegration and collapse. The collapse of the whole of European continent takes place on the battlefields of the Balkans, entering step by step the sphere of our spiritual being.
