NATO enlargement to Western Balkans and its strategic importance
Tesařová, Šárka ; Karásek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Karmazin, Aleš (referee)
This Bachelor thesis deals with the analysis of the development of the integration of Albania and Croatia into NATO structures. The first part describes the NATO open door policy along with the accession criteria and accession process. The key part is the analysis of whether and how the candidate states have fulfilled the established accession criteria based on the criteria of the NATO Enlargement Study, focusing in particular on selected factors - national political situation, public opinion, defence expenditure, professionalism, interoperability, diplomatic relations and cooperation with NATO, involvement in missions and relations with neighbouring states. It also examines the strategic interests of NATO in the Western Balkan region, and NATO may have been motivated by an attempt to strengthen its position in the Balkans. The outcome of the thesis is the assessment of the preparedness of the individual candidate states, where neither Albania nor Croatia fully met the accession criteria and the final decision of NATO was therefore more based on political judgment and strategy in the Balkans.

Jetelina, Patrik

The thesis finds out that the economic Copenhagen criteria are too general and hard to measure, thus these criteria must be substituted with the category of so called “sub-criteria.” The aim of this thesis is to critically evaluate positive and negative changes in the field of the economic sub-criteria, and to evaluate Montenegro’s economic state for joining the EU ending with the year 2017. To accomplish this goal, the thesis is using the benchmarking method, together with the time-series and structure analysis of the economy. Discussion presents the results of the evaluation and the thesis argues why 2 out of total 11 sub-criteria are problematic: which are the public finances, and human and physical capital and the investments into R&D.
