The main focus of the master thesis is on the emergence, development and current state of the Cypriot conflict in regard to the broader Greek-Turkish relations. Special attention is being drawn to the consequences which this problem causes to the cooperation of Greece and Turkey as its secondary actors and to their involvement in the main European integration projects - the European Union and NATO. The first chapter deals with a historical analysis of Greek-Turkish relations as well as with selected theoretical aspects of the Cypriot conflict - nationalism and conflict typology. The second chapter observes the inclusion of the European Union in relations with all the subjects to the conflict in Cyprus, with regard to the current trends in international political and economic environment shaping those relations. The following chapter describes the role the Cyprus conflict has in terms of NATO-EU cooperation in creating the European security architecture. The final part summarizes the findings and, based on them, draws a model depicting the mutual links among the subjects concerned with the situation in Cyprus and their character.

Hiklová, Nikola ; Knotková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Havlová, Radka (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to introduce the role of the UN and the EU in the process of Cyprus reunification and to identify the main obstackles on the road to reunification along with its preconditions. It analyses the reasons for the rejection of the Annan Plan, Turkish influence on the Cyprus problem, the relation between EU membership and stronger negotiation position of Greek Cypriots. Favourable internal political situation is the fundamental precondition for solving the Cyprus problem, nevertheless many outstanding problems need to be tackled. Both communities have different opinions on security issues, therefore the shift in threat perception is desired. Historical disputes, absence of common identity and economic backwardness of Turkish Cypriots need to be overcomed. The future development will depend on the willingness of both parties to achieve a settlement based on compromise. International community should demonstrate that it will be able to garantee timely and precise implementation of relevant future agreement.

The process of unification of Cyprus in the context of the european integration progress
Macková, Monika ; Bič, Josef (advisor) ; Popovová, Marie (referee)
The main goal of my bachelor thesis was to find out how the interest of Cyprus in entering the European Union has influenced the possibility of its unification. In the first chapter I am concerned with the history of this island and also its geographical location which has had a great effect on its affairs in the past. Especially important is the beginning of the Turkish reign on Cyprus because during this time the Cypriot conflict between Greeks and Turks has arisen. In the second chapter of my thesis I describe closely the state system of Cyprus, its economic situation and the difference between Greek and Turkish parts of the island. The third chapter deals with the relationship of Cyprus to the European Union and with the changes of the Cypriot conflict which were caused by the submission of Cyprus among the candidate countries. In the fourth chapter of my thesis I focus on the present development of negotiations between the two parties and I analyze the cause of the Cypriot dispute and possible problems that would have to be dealt with in the case of unification.
