Summary/Abstract: The relationship between current global change and the Balkans, which are typically in a stable cycle of constantly recurring destabilization and restabilization of the region, is the topic of the study. The behaviour of the Balkan countries in the context of current geopolitical change is subject of analysis. The working hypothesis of the study states: The behaviour of each of the countries considered here and their foreign policy moves are viewed as conflitogenic which in the collective consciousness of the “other” provoke a sense of danger, which, in turn, triggers a reflex for self-protection in response. The conclusions of the research states: as a result of the “action-reaction” type of relationship, a destabilizing effect occurs that threatens regional security. Research methods: direct observations of socio-political life, observation of the political process, comparison, exploratory reading of official documents. The aim of this research was to product a usefully elaboration which would be helpful for current and future scientific research related to this issue.
