Abstract
Just like throughout history, nowadays West Balkans is the space of merge of different interests of geopolitical factors on both global and regional levels. The key geopolitical processes in this region are articulated via the goals of globalism, i.e. so-called New World Order. In 1990s, a powerful West Balkans country -former SFR Yugoslavia, which was ethnically, nationally, religiously, and culturally heterogeneous -presented an obstacle. So in early 1990s this country was violently broken into the elements of its heterogeneity and internal animosity, which were further supported by interests of globalism, European regionalism, Islamic fundamentalism, and ancient interests of Vatican. The newly-formed countries resulting from SFRY break-up are now burdened by a whole range of complex geopolitical and total development problems. Some of these are already members of EU and NATO, some are attempting to become members, and only rare ones are trying to keep neutral position. Practically, ...the West already has a full control over most West Balkans and has a strong geopolitical impact on total development processes in the newly-formed states. It also has impact on the position of these states within their neighboring region. Opposite of western interests, the renewed "New Russia", has had a larger geopolitical and economic global impact, including West European. Practically, the West Balkans merges geopolitical and geostrategic interests of the West and the process of globalism that targets at a uni-polar world on one side, and interests of Russia and the concept of multi-polar world on the other. One such state of affairs warms up the old and generates the new problems in all West Balkans countries and their interstate relations.

Zapadni Balkan, danas je, kao što je to kroz dugu istoriju bio, prostor sučeljavanja interesa različitih geopolitičkih faktora na globalnom i regionalnom nivou. Ključni geopolitički procesi u ovom prostoru artikulisani su ciljevima globalizma i tzv. novog svjetskog poretka. Početkom devedesetih godina, na putu širenja globalizma na Istok, stajalaje moćna država Zapadnog Balkana-bivša SFR Jugoslavija, etnički, nacionalno, vjerski i kulturološki veoma heterogena. Ta država, početkom devedesetih godina prošlog vijeka, nasilno je razbijena na elementima njene heterogenosti i međusobnih animoziteta, dodatno podstaknutih intersima globalizma, evropskih regionalizama, islamskog fundamentalizma i vijekovnim intersima iuticaju Vatikana. Zemlje nastale u procesu dezintegracije bivše SFRJ opterećene su nizom složenih geopolitičkih i ukupnih razvojnih problema. Neke od njih već su ukljčene u EU i NATO, neke teže ka tim savezima, a samo rijetke žele zadržati neutralnost u odnosu na NATO. Praktično,... Zapad je već uspostavio punu kontrolu nad većim dijelom zapadnobalkanskog prostora i na taj način obezbijedio snažan geopolitički uticaj na sveukupne razvojne procese u novonastalim zemaljama, kao i uticaj na pozicioniranje novonastalih država u odnosu na regionalno okruženje. Suprotno intersima Zapada obnovljena "Nova Rusija", praktično od početka ovog vijeka, ostvaruje sve veći geopolitički i ekonomski uticaj na globalnom nivou, uključujući i zapadnobalkanski prostor. Praktično, u prostoru Zapadnog Balkna prepliću se geopolitički i geostrateški interesi Zapada i procesa globalizma koji stremi ka unupolarnom svijetu, sjedne, te interesi Rusije i koncepta multipolarnog svijeta, s druge strane. Ovakvo stanje podgrijeva stare i generiše nove probleme u svim dražavama Zapadnog Balkana i njihovim međusobnim odnosima.
