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.

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.
