The Balkans are simultaneously the worst debacle and the largest success of EU foreign policy. The Community, unable to effectively counteract the events of the war in the region in early 90s, undertook, as a priority, to support peace, stability, prosperity and freedom in Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Hercegovina and Macedonia. The governments of all the republics which emerged as a result of the collapse of Yugoslavia are also pursuing full membership of the Community's structures. The authoress sets out to write this short essay in view of her own sympathies toward the region and its inhabitants. It presents the actual situation in the particular states of the West Balkans and the EU's involvement in the process of stabilisation in the region. The Republic of Slovenia was omitted, in view of the country's membership in the EU structures..

The article systematically analyses EU foreign policy, which is characterized by weak strategic planning, poorly developed institutional framework, feeble financial resources and implementation instruments. Furthermore, the concept of civilian power is a result of weakness of the EU foreign policy system and could make this policy less credible in international relation. Three main conclusions could be drawn from analyses developed in the article. Firstly, the major cause of the EU foreign policy systemic weakness is the contradictory interests of Member States. Secondly, the UE policy is rather an instrument of support for national foreign policies then the platform of political unity of the integrated Europe. Thirdly, structural characteristic of the EU foreign policy undermine political ambition to lead in shaping a new international order.
