| Summary: | The West perceives the Balkan region as a source of violence and concern considering that the normal state of the Balkan peoples is belligerent. Yugoslavia after the Second World War was considered a model for the construction of a multinational state. Given the past shared by the countries belonging to the Federation, for a while things went well. Yugoslavia was perceived in the 1980-1990 as being confronted with violence, the growing nationalism and an increased political destabilization, all of which culminated with the Kosovo conflict and the emergence of the newest European state. The international community, the United Nations, NATO and European organizations have played and continue to play an important role in the evolution of the Balkan area and, consequently, in the consolidation and development of the Kosovo state.
