The Finale of Hegemony and Dominance in SE Europe?

At the end of the 20th century the SE European region survives one of the most difficult periods of changing the polarity and hegemonic circumstances. The disintegration of the communist world and the collapse of ex Yugoslavia, as part of the process, could be considered as the result of the new relations between big powers’ hegemonic systems. The NATO spreads to the east (Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland etc.), and of course it has concrete influences on SE Europe. After new countries had been recognised in 1992, and the loyal Slovenian and Croatian partnership with NATO in the Kosovo action in 1999 was proved, it is obvious that regional hegemony of the Serbia core region does not exist any more. Also the Russian (ex Soviet) attempts to play the role of the dominant leader in this region have been suppressed to a minimum. The author discusses European Union interests in this zone, and the way European countries will include themselves in the process of pacifying and developing the region.
