Evropski izazovi i jugoslavenske opcije
European Challenges and Yugoslav Options

Summary/Abstract: With non-alignment as its key component, Yugoslavia's foreign policy has for many years been geared towards geographically distant and historically very different partners. It is only recently, at the moment of crisis, that Yugoslavia has turned towards Europe as a way of overcoming its present difficulties. That is why particular attention is now being paid to the European Economic Community as a synonym for a modern and successful economic grouping. Until the early eighties, both Yugoslavia and the European Community were satisfied with the development of their relations. However, with the deepening of the internal crisis and the absence of realistic prospects of improvement, Yugoslavia started to view the Community in a new light, with three different approaches gradually emerging in the debates. Similarly, with the dynamically changing domestic and international environment, different views emerged of the Alps-Adriatic Regional Community, which many saw as a quicker and easier way of Yugoslavia’s integration in the European developments. Without forgetting the greater objective — Yugoslavia’s full integration into Europe — regional cooperation and integration should be seen as a way that is simpler and equally useful and acceptable for all those involved.
