Summary/Abstract: The article examines geopolitical position of South-Eastern Europe between two geostrategic forces: United States of America and European Union. The article presents arguments for permanent and more sturdy involvement of the USA on premises which would not jeopardize inclusion of regional countries into the EU. On contrary, this inclusion is not certain if there is no American influence on Western Balkan, which leads the author toward final conclusion: until fundamental discrepancies between ethno-national and political communities of the Balkans, the European Union in this part of the world has to be the European Union of the United States of America.
