British Reflection of the Kosovo Conflict and NATO Intervention: T.G. Ash and Noel Malcolm
Rendla, Michal ; Pikal, Kamil (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
The present bachelor thesis deals with reflection of the Kosovo conflict and NATO intervention in texts of British historians T. G. Ash and Noel Malcolm. The objective of the study is to compare the interpretation and opinions of the authors. This was achieved by using a comparative historiographical analysis based on interpretation of their texts in three areas - the causes of the conflict; the war in Kosovo and NATO intervention; the consequences of NATO intervention and the development of post-war Kosovo. It was found that the authors disagree on the major causes of the conflict in Kosovo. Both scholars interpet the war in Kosovo with pro-Albanian attitude, which is however stronger in Noel Malcolm's work. They both agree on the necessity of the NATO intervention, but their interpretation of the consequences of intervention is significantly different. However, they present the same opinion that Kosovo's claim to independence is legitimate.

Stehlíková, Barbora ; Šatava, Leoš (advisor) ; Šalanda, Bohuslav (referee)
The target of this bachelor thesis is research of national identity of Albanian migrants in Prague and its manifestation. The research is carried out with the biographical method, by which the researcher focuses much more on the life of a particular person. The narrative episodic interviews are used and the greatest space is given to the narrator. Afterwards the texts obtained by this way are interpretated properly. In addition to the analysis of the interviews this paper encompass the summary of the literature engaged with the Albanians in Czech Republic. Furthermore there is the description of the biographical method, whereas it stems from the essays of Petra Klvačová and Zdeněk Konopásek. The theoretical determination of the basic terms like "identity", "national identity" and "ethnic identity" follows and then the brief review of the historical development in Albania and Kosovo. The less attention is paid to the relationship between the migrant and the city. We attained to the conclusion that the national identity of the all seven informants represents one of the possible subidentities, which moves on the imaginery web in the bigger distance from the centre than other aspects presented by the informants. These aspects were e. g. job or some hobby.

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.
