Yugoslavian model of socialism as an inspiration for economic reforms in the 60's years of the 20th century in NDR, ČSSR and Hungary
Uxa, Šimon ; Kocian, Jiří (advisor) ; Polášek, Martin (referee)
This dissertation - The Yugoslavian model of Socialism as possible inspiration for economic reforms of the sixties in the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia and Hungary - deals with the topic of creating certain modifications and specific features of the economic systems within the Eastern Bloc. The so called Yugoslavian experiment, which had developed in the Balcan state from the times of the Soviet-Yugoslavian rift of the late forties of last century, was, in fact, considered to be the only alternative to the predominant, directively centralized Soviet model for several years. It was in the sixties when many Eastern Bloc states, which practically hitherto copied the Soviet economic model, attempted to implement economic reforms which would assisst in eliminating disadvantages of the current economic system, and thus to stabilize and streamline the economic development. It is quite natural that for searching new possibilities and incentives, the Yugoslavian self-governing model represented one of potential inspiring ways how to reform the often nonfunctional economic systems. The main purpose of the dissertation is to show how the planners of economic reforms in the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia and Hungary recfleted the Yugoslavian model tested in practice, and to which...

Position and role of Croatia in prosecuting and extradition of war criminals to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia-case study of Ante Gotovina
Ortmann, Matyáš ; Žíla, Ondřej (advisor) ; Šístek, František (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the research of the development of cooperation of Croatian governments with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the matter of prosecution and extradition of war criminals during the Yugoslav wars in the 1990s with regard to the Croatian general Ante Gotovina. The aim of the thesis is to analyze, on the basis of relevant documents, how this cooperation was or was not successful. The prosecution of war criminals has been a key part of the foreign policy of the former Yugoslavia for many years. In the case of Croatia, it was even one of the main aspects that prevented the country from joining Western structures, such as the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance. In the early 1990s, authoritarian President Franjo Tuđman came to power to determine Croatia's course until his death at the end of 1999. This period was very empty for Croatia within foreign policy. Only the accession of Croatia to the Council of Europe in November 1996 could be described as a success. With the advent of Račan's government in 2000, Croatia's cooperation with the ICTY has improved, but the Tribunal has found this to be inadequate. After the new government of one side of the Croatian Democratic Union, led by prime minister Ivo Sanader, the cooperation has...

Slovenia while struggling to leave Sicialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
Houška, Daniel ; Pikal, Kamil (advisor) ; Šístek, František (referee)
The Bachelor's Thesis will explore the economic arguments used by Slovenia while struggling to leave Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFR Yugoslavia). The breakup of SFR Yugoslavia started in the second half of 80's of the 20th century due to political destabilisation and economic crisis. Slovenia was dissatisfied with federal government in Belgrade, which started to pursue aggressive Serbian nationalism and ignored Slovenian demands for a wider autonomy and saw a problem in redistribution of federal finance from taxes. Continuous Slovenian feeling that its economy is misused without adequate options of self-government and obvious lack of motivation of Serbia to debate about changes in the federation led to declaration of independence by Slovenia in 1991. Economic arguments ought to be tested after a brief war between Slovenia and Serbia in the new era of an independent Slovenia. Slovenia faced challenge in the form of a transformation into a market economy, which could have been used in their position at the border of Western Europe. At the same time Slovenia's effort to join European and International economic structures meant a test if it had truly achieved a better economic situation by declaring independence. The second part of Thesis compares Slovenian independence with Catalonian separatism,...

Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations in 1939-1941: From the dissolution of Czechoslovakia to the occupation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia
Sovilj, Milan ; Pelikán, Jan (advisor) ; Štěpánek, Václav (referee) ; Vojtěchovský, Ondřej (referee)
The present study deals with the very difficult Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations immediately before and at the beginning of WWII. At that time, an independent Czechoslovakia no longer existed, and Yugoslavia was forced to balance between the interests of stronger countries, mainly Germany and Great Britain, in order to save their territory and ensure for its citizens a future without a war. Yugoslavia's reserved attitude towards the happenings in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the establishment of rather formal than friendly and cordial Slovak-Yugoslav relations, the presence of Czechoslovak emigrants in Yugoslavia, the absence of any intervention by Yugoslav bodies against the activities of the members of Czech and Slovak minorities against the Protectorate, Slovakia, and Germany, and, finally, the negative Yugoslav attitude towards the state of Slovakia - this all constituted a complex and colourful world of Czechoslovak-Yugoslav relations in 1939-1941. An analysis of these relations was based primarily on an exhausting archival research as well as on a survey of relevant literature, memoirs, and the period press. This subject has not yet been studied in detail in the Czech Republic and abroad.
