Tado JurićWestbalkan-Erweiterung der EU

About this book deutschenglish

The fulfillment of “EU standards” in the multi-ethnic Western Balkans region is much more difficult than it was in other EU enlargement rounds. The reason for this is that multi-ethnic states have much greater difficulties than ethnically homogenous states to consolidate themselves as democracies. If the EU wants to permanently stabilize and “Europeanize” the region, it must give up ist position of defending the preservation of existing “multi-ethnic paradigm” at all cost and allow the consistent application of the principle of self-determination of peoples in the region.
