PACT ON STABILITY – THE DAWN OF GROUNDBREAKING SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR SOUTH-EAST EUROPE

Sarajevski skup, na kome je donesena Sarajevska deklaracija i Pakt o stabilnosti, stanoviti je finale gotovo desetogodišnjeg sukoba na balkanskim područjima. U tom dinamičnom procesu pripremanja Europe za prihvat zemalja jugoistočne Europe značajne su preteče bruxelleska studija Centra za političke analize, zatim njemačka nova politika, kao i podrška SAD. Analiza ciljeva i mehanizama Pakta pokazuje da se radi o važnom političkom instrumentu, koji je naišao na različito prihvaćanje kod pojedinih zemalja. Ako se svim akterima: državama, nevladinim organizacijama, udrugama i pojedincima, stvori dugoročne uvjete povezivanja, stvaranje zajedničkih pogleda i projekata, može započeti proces izgradnje boljih odnosa. Europeizacija Jugoistoka Europe bit će dug i složen posao, a Pakt o stabilnosti može postati važan oblik izgradnje novih odnosa na ovom prostoru.The Sarajevo Convention, on which the Sarajevo Declaration and the Pact on Stability were adopted, is a kind of a finale to the ten-year conflict in the Balkan region. The most important pioneers in that dynamic process of Europe’s preparation for accepting the countries of Europe’s south-east have been the Brussels study by the Center for political analyses, the German “new politics” and the US support. The analyses of the goals and mechanisms of the Pact show that it is a major political instrument, though hailed as a mixed blessing. If all the actors – states, non-governmental organizations, associations, and individuals – are provided with long-term conditions for creating affiliations, joint views and projects, the process of building better relations may be initiated. The Europeisation of south-east Europe is going to be a lengthy and complex process, and the Pact on Stability may become an important form of building new relations in this region
