Abstract

The integration of the post-Yugoslav states into the European Union (EU) is a prominent topic in the academic literature (Rupnik 2011; Radeljic 2013; Elbasani 2013). The focus of these debates has been on the role of the EU in the transformation of the post-Yugoslav countries, and the successes and failures of the EU’s enlargement process. Too often, however, have the seven states that emerged after the break-up of Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,1 Montenegro, Serbia, Macedonia2 and Kosovo) been treated as passive subjects of the EU’s enlargement process and as ‘playgrounds’ of different international ideas on state-building (Bosnia), self-determination (Kosovo), economic reforms (all seven) and democratization (in particular Bosnia, Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia).
