Abstract

Rad se bavi problematikom političke situacije na prostoru Zapadnog Balkana koji se u
Europi uz Ukrajinu postavlja kao najnestabilnija regija. Razne struje političkih radikala uz
postojeću migrantsku, COVID 19 i ekonomsku krizu dalje produbljuju probleme koje Zapadni
Balkan trpi već desetljećima.
Politička nestabilnost od raspada Jugoslavije u sve je većem porastu, integracija u
međunarodna tijela nije na visokoj razini te otvorena pitanja među državama ne nalaze rješenja
čak niti uz posredovanje treće strane. Ovdje je utjecaj velikih sila sveprisutan, posebice u pitanjima
Bosne i Hercegovine te Kosova koje se ističu kao najranjivije države ove regije. Sjeverna
Makedonija i Srbija zbog problema s demokratskim slobodama i vrijednostima također ne
pripadaju kategoriji stabilnijih država, a problem Srbije i Kosova koji ne posustaje ne budi nade
za skoro zatvaranje tog poglavlja.
Prisutnost međunarodne zajednice jedan je od ključnih faktora održavanja stabilnosti
regije, a interesi SAD-a, Rusije, Kine i europskih sila su ti koji utječu većinu političkih zbivanja
na tome prostoru. Gledajući ovu situaciju kroz prizmu ravnoteže snaga koja proizlazi iz
političkog realizma rad će razmotriti djela i namjere raznih aktera kao i rezultate koje njihova
politika na tome prostoru uzrokuje.

Abstract (english)

This paper describes the intricate political situation in the Western Balkans which
presents itself as one of the most unstable regions in Europe alongside Ukraine. The various
radical political factions alongside the ongoing migrant, COVID 19 and economic crises
continue to deepen the problems the Western Balkans are facing for the past few decades.
Political instability is on the rise ever since the fall of Yugoslavia, integration into the
international community is still ongoing and the tensions and open issues between the states are
not being resolved even with the mediation of foreign powers. Here the influence of the great
world powers is ever present, especially in regards to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo
which can be labeled as the most vulnerable states in the region. North Macedonia and Serbia are
also problematic and can not be labeled as stable due to their democratic standard, and the
problem of Serbia and Kosovo still persists and does not promise a quick solution.
The presence of the international community in the region is one of the key factors in
maintaining stability, and the interests of the USA, Russia, China and the european powers shape
a great many of the political decisions in the area. Through the realistic theory of the balance of
power, this paper will endeavour to discern the situation.
