In this context, this conference will treat the Balkans in correlation with a neologism, Utopia, a country of ideal felicity and perfection, a place in which human society, natural conditions etc., are ideally shaped in order to have a complete contentment. Also, it is a place where the organizational structure, fosters a limited governmental involvement, which permits human creativity and achievement. Where prosperity does not have to be forced it just happens (D. Hager). So, today in the aftermath of the bloody century, the questions are whether the Balkans are heading towards Eutopia, prosperous Europe or kakostopia(worst place)? Are we going to Europeanize ourselves or to balkanize the Europe? Are we on the rights track and ready to Debalkanize the Balkans? Are he euro-integration processes bringing real changes, which are only formal, without any essence? What are the conditions needed for moving forward, towards the first stratum Eurpoe? | Contents note: | Abdϋlkadir Kabadayi: E(u)ducating Turkish minority children in the Balkans for the sake of of debalkanization of Eutopia; Afrim Loku, Gazmend Deda & Arben Tërstena: Application of quality international standards in private enterprise in Kosovo; Agron Rustemi: The welfare state in Balkans; Ali Musliu: Human rights and conflict resolution concepts in the Republic of Macedonia; Ali Pajaziti: Brain drain’s sociology : reflections of the Balkan’s social transition period syndrome to Macedonia; Anca Parmena Olimid: Designing the Balkans in post - communism : ideas, ideals and democratic traditions in the road to Europe; Exploring the constitutional, balancing the political : theorizing the human rights and fundamental; Freedoms in five Balkan countries in a comparative constitutional perspective (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Romania); Armela Pengili: Turkey and Middle East; Ardita Abduli, Irena Nikaj: Socio - economic barriers, cause for expansion of deviant phenomena in society - case of Macedonia; Ayman Gad: The socio - political changes, and active employment policies in Kosovo; Behar Haziri: The Balkans and balance of power in the XXI-st century; Bejtush Gashi, Bislim Lekiqi: Intrinsic motivators as important factors of motivation in management of human resources in Kosovo; Besim Gollopeni: Women who made history; Catalina Maria Georgescu: Linking locally- elected political obedience to seat security : comparative analysis of electoral legislation in South-Eastern Europe; In search of an explanation for institutional change during European Union enlargement : applying contingency theory to the study of local public organizations in South- Eastern Europe; Cosmin Lucian Gherghe: Adopting the constitutions in Eastern Europe after the fall of communism.
