Summary/Abstract: The question of religious liberty is not the same in every case. Failure to make this distinction results in confusion, we should be prepared to deal with complexities, ambiguities religious and ethical convictions. In the 2000’s, the problem of regime of cults is still cautious; its initiative reflected a fundamental rethinking of national interests and ideology. For E.U., the religious freedom’s advantage, its flexibility and tolerance for change, does not ensure that this integration will be long and satisfying. These questions complicated an already complex transition, adding a new difficulty to reform program. There is in fact a common perception of political transition: a growing sense of vulnerability and fear, dreams of new European religious policy. In such a volatile atmosphere, events and possible scenarios for the coming year could go in any number of directions.
