Sažetak
Uvek kada spomenemo Evropsku uniju, pomislimo na moćnu i jaku međudržavnu integraciju koja je na prikladan način uspela da poveže različite zemlje i narode i objedini njihove interese. Veoma je interesantna činjenica da su se evropske zemlje u određenoj meri odrekle sopstvenih nacionalnih suvereniteta i priklonile se uzvišenom, zajedničkom cilju. Evropska unija je od momenta svog nastanka pa do danas pretrpela brojne promene i transformacije, prešla veoma dug i naporan period razvoja da bi postala moćna i jaka ekonomska sila kakvu trenutno poznajemo. U budućnosti joj predstoji dalje proširenje i prijem u članstvo novih evropskih zemalja koje prethodno ispune propisane kriterijume pristupanja. Evropska unija ne bi mogla adekvatno da funkcioniše bez svojih osnovnih institucija koje su temelj njenog postojanja i delovanja, a to su Savet Evropske unije, Evropski parlament i Evropska komisija. Pomenute institucije su konstituisane na odgovarajući način, profesionalno obavljaju svoje aktivnosti, efikasno doprinose kvalitetu rada unije, pospešuju međusobnu saradnju zemalja članica i brinu se o pravovremenom i adekvatnom sprovođenju zakonodavne, izvršne i sudske vlasti. U daljem toku rada ćemo se podsetiti samog osnivanja Evropske unije, njenih osnovnih obeležja, zemalja članica i faza proširivanja. Detaljno ćemo obraditi ključne institucije, način njihovog delovanja i funkcionisanja i naglasiti njihov doprinos radu i razvoju unije. Činjenica je da pomenute institucije predstavljaju bazu institucionalne strukture unije, ali nikako ne bi mogle uspešno da izvršavaju svoje zadatke i ostvaruju zajedničke ciljeve bez konstantne i kvalitetne podrške sporednih institucija, koje ćemo ukratko objasniti. Zaključnim razmatranjem ćemo naglasiti trenutni i budući značaj Evropske unije, sadašnju poziciju na svetskoj ekonomskoj sceni kao i perspektive njenog budućeg razvoja.
Abstract
Whenever we mention the European Union, we think of a strong and powerful international integration which has succeeded in joining different countries and nations uniting their interests in an appropriate way. It is very interesting that European countries have given up their own national sovereignty to some extent and showed inclination to a sublime, common goal. The European Union has undergone numerous changes and transformations since the moment of its beginning till nowadays. It has also passed a very long and exhausting period of its development in order to become a strong and powerful economic force which we know today. In the futurity there will be its further expansion and acceptance of new European countries which had already fulfilled certain criteria of joining to the Union. The European Union might not function adequately without its basic institutions such as the Council of the European Union, the European Parliament and the European Board of Commissioners which make the basis for its existence and acting. The previously mentioned institutions have been formed in a proper way, they professionally do their activities, contribute to the quality of the Union's work in the most efficient way, encourage the international cooperation of the member countries and take care of punctual and adequate conveying of legislate, executive and judicial power. In further course of this piece of work we will remind ourselves of the beginning of the European Union itself, its main characteristics, member countries and the phases of its spreading out. We will elaborate the key institutions in details, the way of their acting and functioning and put emphasis on their contribution to the Union's work and development. It is the fact that mentioned institutions represent the base of the institutional structure of the Union, but they couldn't fulfill their tasks successfully as well as accomplish the common goals without constant and qualitative support of subordinate institutions which will shortly be explained. In our final consideration we will emphasize both the momentary and future importance of the European Union, its today's position on the world economic scene as well as the perspectives of its development.
