Abstract

Od raspada SSSR-a i osamostaljivanja njezinih bivših republika Europska unija smjestila je na sam vrh piramide svojih interesa geostrateški važno područje Južnog Kavkaza. Etnički, vjerski i kulturno bogata regija našla se u središtu pozornosti zapadnih zemalja. Armenija, Azerbajdžan i Gruzija nedugo nakon stjecanja samostalnosti počele su ostvarivati bilateralne odnose s Unijom koja se prvenstveno bazirala na jačanju gospodarskih odnosa i pomoći u tranzicijskom procesu i jačanju demokracije.
U radu se raspravlja o interesima zapadnih zemalja za regiju bogatu naftom i plinom te iskorištavanju kavkaskog položaja za energetsku opskrbu Europe. Primarni cilj je smanjiti europsku ovisnost o ruskim energentima.
Veliki problem južnokavkaskih zemalja, osim velikog broja neriješenih sukoba, je loše ophođenje s medijskim djelatnicima i često kršenje njihovih prava. Zabrana iznošenja mišljenja i istraživačkog novinarstva pokazuju da te zemlje još uvijek nisu postale demokratsko društvo.

Abstract (english)

Since the Dissolution of the Soviet Union and the independence of its former republics, the European Union has begun to have high interest in the geostrategically significant region of South Caucasus. Ethnically, religiously and culturally rich, the region came into western countries' focus. Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia short after their independence began to have a bilateral relationship with the EU that focused on the strengthening of the economic relations and the support of the transition and democracy of the region.
The thesis deals with the interests of the western countries when it comes to region’s oil and gas and the exploitation by the EU whose main goal is to become less dependent on Russian oil and gas supplies.
One of the South Caucasus region’s problems, apart from a great deal of unsolved conflicts, is the inadequate behaviour towards media professionals and the constant violation of their rights. Suppression of free speech and research journalism demonstrate that the region still has not become completely democratic.
