Serbia and Montenegro in the processes on integration into the European Union: Analysis of internal security issues in regions with high ethnic Albanian population
Heler, Daniel ; Tejchman, Miroslav (advisor) ; Pikal, Kamil (referee)
The author will attempt to outline the basic requirements of the European Union on the field of internal security imposed on states seeking membership. These demands, requirements and criteria for EU membership will be compare in the specific case of the regions with high proportion of the Albanian population to the current internal security situation in Montenegro and Serbia, with emphasis on the dynamics of development especially in the last approximately 12 years. Security issues will be discussed broadly in keeping with the Copenhagen School. That is in its broader form the so-called hard security to societal security. On the example of the regions with high proportion of the Albanian population in Serbia and Montenegro in the above-mentioned internal security issues I will try to verify and critically evaluate the basic axioms of the general concept of europeanisation in its transitological meaning. In relation to the surveyed processes of europeanisation I will also focus on the gradual process of loosing the ties between the two state entities, the issue will explore possible impact of formal and informal processes of secession of Montenegro from the common state, the quality and the intensity of ongoing europeanisation in both state entities will be examined.

In 2007 the international community started to establish the political status of Kosovo, the Serbian province, inhabited mostly by the Muslim Albanian majority. In February 2008 Kosovo declared independence. What happened in the so-called "last media battle for Kosovo"? This thesis, called Representations of Serbs and Albanians in the Czech press during the proces of declaring independence of Kosovo, investigates discourses of two Czech newspapers and their coverage of the events between February 2007 and June 2008 when the Kosovo Constitution came in force. This thesis use both quantitative and qualitative content analysis. The analysis of recontextualization shows that the newspapers reproduce the dominant Serbian nationalism that focuses on the myth of a Greater Serbia.By an appropriation of different discourses, the dominant Serbian nationalism becomes legitimized and justified. In particular, the newspapers reproduce distinctive religious discourses from the political past, and furthermore, they borrow the so-called European,"war on terrorism" and "crime" discourses from the international mainstream public spheres and appropriate them to the contemporary political context. They borrow the so-called "modern Munich betrayal" and the Czech-Serbian kinship too. Generally, the newspapers reappropriate...

Janković, Vukica ; Vošta, Milan (advisor) ; Karpová, Eva (referee) ; Němcová, Ingeborg (referee) ; Kazanský, Rastislav (referee)
Doctoral dissertation presents an analysis of the Serbian economy in the mutual relations between the European Union (EU) and the Western Balkans. The assumption that the EU and Serbia, as an integral part of the Balkan region, have interests in the partnership and cooperation is the baseline of the research. The following aspects have been singled out, by method of ranking, which is based on achieving the highest turnover in the last six years: trade, foreign direct investment and energy. Gravity model was used to analyze routes of trade and energy. A models of trade import and export between Serbia and the EU 28 member countries and the countries of the Western Balkans, as well as models of imports and exports of energy between Serbia and the EU 28 member countries and the countries of the Western Balkans, were used in order to assess the potential of trade and energy trade. Method of trend line and trend extrapolation of foreign direct investment (FDI) was used in order to determine the degree of the presence of FDI in Serbia and their predictions, which could be an indicator of investment climate in Serbia. The conclusion is that Serbia has strategic importance as a candidate for membership in the EU because of its regional importance. Entering the Western Balkan countries in the EU should not happen without Serbia, because Serbia has a regional importance, which arise from the economic, historical, cultural, infrastructural and geopolitical links with countries in the region, of which some are already members of the EU.

Cultural diplomacy of the countries of former Yugoslavia
Bojovič, Lola ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Poráziková, Lenka (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the cultural diplomacy of the countries of former Yugoslavia. The work has three objectives. The first objective is to determine whether the practice of cultural diplomacy in ex-Yugoslav countries exists. If it does, the next step is its evaluation. In case it does not exist, it is necessary to find out why. The paper first presents the theoretical framework of cultural diplomacy, which is followed by the main part that introduces the form of practice in each country. Given the new trend that cultural diplomacy represents the information is processed and evaluated with the aid of a variety of foreign sources. Based on the evaluation of the countries, I found out that the practice of cultural diplomacy in some form exists in each of them. The contribution of this work is to map the region that has not been examined at all or very little.

Systematics and ecology of Kindingers houseleek (\kur{Sempervivum kindingeri} Adamović)
HORNÁT, Milan
There are many unanswered questions in the genus Sempervivum (Crassulaceae family). One of them is Sempervivum kindingeri from Macedonia. This species has not been revised yet since then he was found and described. In the last few years were published new floristic reports from the territory of Macedonia and Serbia and these reports indicate that discovered species belong to Sempervivum kindingeri. During 2012 and 2013 were some of the localities revised successfully and the live plants for research were collected there. Collected plants have been cultivated in comparative culture and afterwards they were used for morphometrical and karyological analysis. It was found that trichomes on the upper side of the leaf is the most important feature which allows to determine the species identity. Based on the obtained data it was found that plants descended from the high mountains of Macedonia and Serbia are probably a different taxon from S. kindingeri plants grown in culture.
