Summary/Abstract: Nation states in the Balkans need a form of relaxation through regional arrangements that do not bring those states themselves into question. That is why Southeastern Europe can be thought of as a regional community, along the lines of Plessner’s ideal community (die Sachgemeinschaft), which may, in anticipatory discourse, produce a regional ideology as an acceptable value, as the next form of peace.
