ABSTRACT
Ethnicity, as an important element of national identity, has the potential to allow
the political articulation for the citizens who feel repressed in their states and
who are powerless to exercise their rights to equal participation in the public life.
Equality in the preservation of ethnic diversity, in response to the demands of
ethnic communities, is covered with specific rights for the distinctive communities, which are based on the concept of equality and non – discrimination. The specific treatment takes into account the factual inequalities and justifies the different treatment by achieving equal results.
The research indicates that there is ethnic potency for redefining the redistribution of power, as the Macedonian conflict showed in 2001. The Ohrid Framework Agreement and its transposition in the Constitution and Macedonian laws are analyzed in terms of the protection and integration of the minorities and the effective application of the principles of equality and non–discrimination.
Key words: ethnicity, equality and non-discrimination, minority rights, ethnic conflict, Ohrid Framework Agreement

Progressive expansion towards the neighbours, not only in geographical
terms, but also through externalisation of European values, was the essence of EU`s foreign policy driven by the idea of united Europe. After the last enlargement and institutional crisis, relationships with new neighbours to the east are defined by changing the discourse.
European Neighbourhood Policy and Eastern Partnership were an attempt to resolve the tension between the request for defining the basic dilemma where the final borders lies (exclusion), and develop relationships with new neighbours, their partial integration (inclusion) as the crossroad of the foreign policy of security, development, trade policy and enlargement.
Key words: European integration, externalization of values, Copenhagen criteria, conditionality and socialization, transformation of the neighbourhood, Europeanization, Eastern partnership.

ABSTRACT
The Stability Pact is a political initiative to encourage and strengthen cooperation between the countries of SEE and to prepare them for Euro-Atlantic integration. It replaced the previous, reactive international approach towards the Southeastern Europe with a comprehensive, long-term conflict prevention strategy. It is based on the idea that conflict prevention and peace building can be successful only by a comprehensive approach in three key sectors (creating a safe environment, promoting a sustainable democratic system and supporting economic and social development).
The successful operation of the special coordinator Busek and his team was
confirmed by transferring the ownership for the process of cooperation to the region under the Regional Cooperation Council. That is the success story of the Stability Pact.
