Kořeny, vývoj a řešení etnického konfliktu na území Kosova

This bachelor thesis deals with the ethnic conflict in Kosovo from the Middle Ages to the present with the special focus on factors which have led to its outbreak and escalation, on its dynamics, ways of resolution and current situation.Factors, which have led to the outbreak and escalation of the ethnic conflict in Kosovoare of ethnic and cultural, political, social and economic nature, they complement and influence each other and the result was and still is very serious and lingering conflict between two ethnic groups which inhabit Kosovo -- Kosovo Serbs and Albanians.On the case of Kosovo we can observe many different ways of conflict resolution -- both conflict and non-conflict ones. Nevertheless, these efforts have not contributed to the final resolution of the situation and phases of latent conflict have many times varies with phases of escalation. In 2008 Kosovo declared independence on Serbia which however considers this act as illegal, as well as for example Russia. On the other hand, most of the countries of the EU and NATO recognised the independent Republic of Kosovo. The problem of Kosovo's independence and ethnic conflict in Kosovo in general influences international relations and divides international community.
