Isolated Dubrovnik: Possible transport connection solutions of the Croatian territory divided by the Neum area
Vedral, Martin ; Králová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Žíla, Ondřej (referee)
The Master thesis deals with potential solutions of transport connection between two parts of the Croatian territory separated by Neum of Bosna and Hercegovina. The territorial separation became rather problematic after the Croatian entry into the European Union on July 1, 2013.

In its historical section, the study explains why and when the unusual separation originated. Further, it deals with possible solutions that arise and assesses their economic and ecological demands while taking international law aspects into consideration. In the analytical part, the thesis aims to analyse the interests and goals of each player that directly influences the problem or the problem indirectly affects them. The players are the European Union, both Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, local authorities, and Croatian political parties. The author concludes that the Peljesac Bridge, going from the Croatian territory to the Peljesac Peninsula, is the most likely solution out of all discussed options.

The recognition of Croatian and Slovenian independence by the Federal Republic of Germany
Vedral, Martin ; Handl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Tejchman, Miroslav (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with German foreign policy towards Yugoslavia in the second half of 1991, with focus on recognition of Croatian and Slovenian independence. It describes its gradual development from declaring independent states by the secessionist republics in June 1991 to complete recognition of these countries by the European Community in January 1992. It tries to answer the question why Germany changed her attitude when she first supported preserving united Yugoslavian state and tries to coordinate her steps with other EC-members, but in the end, she recognised the independence of Croatia and Slovenia unilaterally three weeks sooner that the rest of EC. The thesis contains chronological description of events in the chosen time period - steps of German diplomacy or EC and events in Yugoslavia which are crucial for understanding the context. In the last part, it analyses the aspects influencing German foreign politics.
