Abstract :The EU's Contribution to Peace and Stability in the Western Balkans This study aims to investigate the contribution of the EU to the political and economic stability in the Western Balkans. In the first part of the study, the characteristics of the EU's soft / normative power will be discussed. In the second part, after the Dayton Agreement and the independence of Kosovo, the EU's Western Balkan Policy will be examined. The EU's contribution to the region, also called Southeast Europe, is based on three basic principles. The first is to support and reinforce political stability in the region through peace-building activities. Secondly, the states in the region were economically and technically supported by the EU. Third, regional states were encouraged to join the EU. As a result, despite all the problems today, the continuation of peace and stability in the Western Balkans is largely based on the EU membership perspective.
