“…With regard, first, to ethnic conflict regulation, the academic literature distinguishes between approaches that seek to achieve the mitigation of conflict through the recognition and validation of differences among ethnic groups, on the one hand, and the elimination or control of differences, on the other, the latter having been attempted or accomplished historically by such measures as genocide, forced population transfers, assimilation policies and various forms of majority domination (McGarry and O'Leary 1993;Schneckener 2002). The EC's actions represent a clear affirmation of the first approach.…”

The European Community's conditional recognition of new states in Yugoslavia in 1991±2 represents the revival of an approach to ethnic conflict management that harks back to the Congress of Berlin (1878) and the minority treaties negotiated at the end of the First World War. Despite the historic parallels, and the continued relevance of this approach to ethnic conflict regulation, scholars have given scant attention to the strategic logic governing the EC's use of recognition. This article seeks to recover the conceptual thinking behind the EC's recognition policy. It argues that however much extra-strategic considerations may have informed EC policy and however imperfectly that policy may have been implemented, conditional recognition represented a genuine attempt to address some of the presumed sources of violent conflict in the region.

“…The European understanding of the common values also recognizes the heterogeneity of values and understands it as the value richness of the EU. It can be most obviously seen through the saying "united in differences" (Creative Commons, 2020: 5-7; Halman, 2009: [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”

On one hand it will be considered as a value and system for realization and protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms, and on the other hand, as a method and decision-making procedure in the society.…”

The Euro-Atlantic Values in the Balkan Countries

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The topic of the International Scientific Conference in Ohrid 2020 should create assumptions through scientific articles and through debate to offer answers about the situation with the implementation of Euro-Atlantic values of the Balkan countries. This is important because there are three European Union member states (Greece, Bulgaria and Croatia) in this area, which are also members of the NATO Alliance (Northern Macedonia joins this group, Albania and Montenegro), and other countries (such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Serbia) are outside these structures.This position of the countries in relation to the Euro-Atlantic integration causes numerous interactions and relations, which in many ways are specific, both for the relations between the Balkan countries and in terms of the application of criteria and values in the relations between the countries separately. The conflicting historical past has created the impression that "the Balkans are a powder keg", which is causing turmoil in politics, not only in Europe but also beyond. In that sense, it is good to create space, the academic community of the Balkan countries and beyond to try through the analysis of practices from the application of Euro-Atlantic values to offer new insights that will serve to strengthen the idea of Europe as a common home. The conference will present papers on the following topics: ▪ Democracy, rule of law, human rights, their promotion and forms of protection  ▪ International Standards for the Protection of Human and Citizen'sFreedoms and Rights and the Policies of the Balkan States  ▪ Forms of protection of freedoms and rights -experiences and perspectives  ▪ Strengthening the rule of law and accountability of institutions  ▪ Democracy, forms of democratic participation in government and governance  ▪

“…Power sharing and other non-territorial solutions would often be favoured instead. 33 The CSCE Copenhagen Document would serve as the inspiration for the Council of Europe's Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, which came into force in 1998. 34 This, too, emerged partly in response to concerns about "grave minority problems," as the Council's Parliamentary Assembly described the situation-problems that were threatening peace and stability on the continent.…”

The post-Cold War period to date has witnessed renewed international and especially European preoccupation with issues pertaining to ethno-cultural diversity and the challenges for governance arising from these issues. This article discusses the shift that has occurred in support of national minority rights in Europe and why European organizations have become more concerned with these rights after the Cold War. It examines some of the major policy initiatives adopted by European organizations in response to the nearly twenty-five-year long Yugoslav crisis and what these initiatives reveal about new (and old) thinking within these organizations with respect to national minority rights and the management of ethno-cultural diversity more generally. It also discusses the consequences of these initiatives for minority rights protection and some of their broader implications for European policy in the future.
