Abstract

I nakon završetka Hladnog rata jedno od ključnih pitanja europske sigurnosti je zaštita etničkih manjina. Premda je prestanak bipolarne podjele svijeta početkom prošlog desetljeća pokrenuo očekivanja kako će se i na području zaštite etničkih manjina postići značajniji napredak, razvoj događaja pokazao je negativne trendove - ne samo da je problem zaštite etničkih manjina bio iskorištavan u međudržavnim i unutarnjim sukobima, već je manjinsko pitanje iskorištavano u sporovima između država. Uz to, i u razvijenim zapadnoeuropskim demokracijama odnos prema nekim etničkim manjinama, kao što su romska ili muslimanska manjina, pokazuje da ni u tim državama pitanje zaštite etničkih manjina nije do kraja riješeno. Navedeni primjeri pokazuju da zaštita etničkih manjina i dalje ostaje jedno od važnih pitanja europske sigurnosti.<br />Even after the end of the Cold War the protection of national minorities remains one of the key issues of the European security. Although the end of the bipolar division of world at the beginning of the last decade has had initiated expectations of the significant developments in the field of the protection of ethnic minorities, developments showed negative trends - not only that the issue of the protection of ethnic minorities was used in internal conflicts, but minority issue was also used in in interstate conflicts. Additionally, in developed democracies of the Western Europe attitude towards particular ethnic minorities, such as Roma and Muslim minority, demonstrates that the issue of protection of ethnic minorities in those states hasn't been completely regulated. Those examples reveal that the protection of ethnic minorities still remains on of the key issues of the European security.
