Keywords: European dimension; „soft power”; diplomacy
Summary/Abstract: Through its entire cultural, pastoral, typographic, religious, diplomatic and philanthropic activity, Anthim the Iberian is always a living example, but also a personality of rare complexity. It is distinguished by vision, European dimension and active involvement in improving the lives of others. To highlight his great role in the epoch, I will appeal to the term „soft power” invented by Joseph Nye in the book of the same name to describe the ability to attract and persuade through the power of cultural, religious, moral values, etc. Soft power is the ability to attract others by our force of persuasion. Seduction is always more effective than constraint, and values such as democracy and human rights are profoundly.
