Abstract

The author emphasizes that some of the post-Communist states have not grown out of ethnic conflicts, antagonism and enmity, which break peaceful life, ruin public relations, cause considerable human losses and streams of refugees. For their peaceful settlement countries must develop models of ethnic relations harmonization. The author focuses on three issues, which contribute to the outbreaks of conflicts: the thing which causes conflicts is not ethnic affiliation, but nationality, officially defined by the USSR, and this should left behind; internal borders (nowadays state frontiers) established by the USSR for expansion and strengthening of authoritarianism, which now often stir up disputes; a level of ethnic violence in the post-Soviet countries is comparatively low. Materials on protection of minority rights in ten CEE countries members of the EU testify that the potential of joining the EU as a catalyst for reforms must be analyzed more thoroughly. The EU possesses resources and possibilities to use the process of integration for constructive settlement of invisible and threatening problems in the continent.
欧盟成员资格是联盟国家内部种族关系和谐的一个因素
作者强调,一些后共产主义国家并没有摆脱种族冲突、对抗和敌意,这些冲突打破了和平生活,破坏了公共关系,造成了大量的人员损失和难民潮。为了和平解决这些问题,各国必须发展民族关系和谐的模式。提交人着重讨论了导致冲突爆发的三个问题:引起冲突的不是民族归属,而是苏联正式界定的民族归属,这一点应该抛在后面;苏联为了扩张和加强威权主义而建立的内部边界(现在的国家边界),现在经常引发争端;后苏联国家的种族暴力水平相对较低。关于欧盟10个中东欧国家少数民族权利保护的材料证明,必须更彻底地分析加入欧盟作为改革催化剂的潜力。欧盟拥有资源和可能性,可以利用一体化进程建设性地解决欧洲大陆的无形和威胁性问题。
