Summary/Abstract: Bojan Kovačević’s book serves as a starting point for considering the major topic, which is the crisis of the EU’s prevailing model of governance. The author’s argument about „hidden federalism” constitutes a solid ground for fruitful theoretic discussion. The author’s approach explains a long lasting and well established project of integration that has developed within the framework of elitist and technocratic model of public affairs governing. By accepting this perspective in this paper the EU crisis is conceptualized as a process that leads from „hidden federalism” to „hidden hegemonism” as a constitutional outcome of concrete anti-crisis politics.
