Shrnutí:All of these developments gave rise to the term "Balkanization," which refers to ethnic conflict within multiethnic states, as well as, more specifically, the ethnic cleansing and civil war that often occur following the dis-integration of such states.2 Similarly, it has been described as the act of breaking up regions or groups into smaller, often hostile units.3 The term first appeared in the Ottoman Empire and after World War I but has also found use in the contemporary history of Africa,4 the world of technological development,5 and even in the politics of the United States.6 Given the tendency of Balkanization in southeastern Europe, countries established after the breakup of Yugoslavia are still struggling to overcome the instability that began with the fall of their former state. The failure of Europe to prevent conflict between the former Yugoslav states was a difficult lesson for the emerging CFSP. Since this failure, initiatives to stabilize the Balkans have varied significantly. After a decade of conflict, it is no surprise that the Balkans have had difficulty adjusting to the political and economic standards of Europe. Because of these elements, a comparison to countries from previous rounds of enlargement is inappropriate, as their transitions were peaceful, their ethnic compositions were less complex, and their relations with the "old" EU member states (as well as with Russia) were largely different. Europeanization is more than simply an enlargement policy. [...]for the Balkans, accession to the EU must be a process that includes the following steps: national institutions must be adjusted, market economies implemented, national legislation aligned, sovereignty transferred, nationalism defeated, borders changed, regional cooperation developed, bilateral disputes solved, traditional Western European political behavior accepted into domestic political culture, and support for EU membership agreed upon by national consensus.
