THE “UKRANIAN QUESTION” AND “KOSOVO PRECEDENT”

Vladislav B. Sotirović

Sažetak

The research topic of this article is the “Ukrainian Question” in perspective of “Kosovo precedent” within the framework of the international law, international relations and global pol­itics. The aim of the article is to investigate the possible solu­tions for the current Ukrainian political crisis through the prism of “Kosovo precedent”. The article is composed by five sections dealing with the Ukrainian identity, historical background of the Ukrainian statehood, the 2014 Euromaidan coup and the begin­ning of the Ukrainian crisis, “Kosovo precedent” and the “Ukrai­nian Question” and finally with the possible political solution of the current Ukrainian crisis founded on the example of “Kosovo precedent”. The fundamental conclusion of the research is that “Kosovo precedent” already serves and will further serve in the recent future as the foundation for the territorial decomposition of Ukraine by neighbouring Russia.
