Podmínky sjednocení Kypru: mezinárodní souvislosti a úloha mezinárodních organizací

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.
