Abstract

This work analyzes the international identity of the European Union (EU) in the context of the new world order with a focus on issues developing in Kosovo. The development of EU and its unique character in relation to Public International Law (PIL) has made the issue of legal subjects more complex. Unlike traditional international organizations, EU is governed by the principle of supremacy. PIL is defined as the law of nations, meaning that the rules and principles are meant to govern relations between states. Although international law has now developed, and organizations and individuals are also considered as subjects of international law, nonetheless, as a starting point, international law is only applicable to those subjects that have international personality. How does the EU claim to have international personality when the member states are sovereign states, but at the same time part of a Union with elements of a state? In this context, the weight of the subject is related to the fact that geopolitics has changed and the capacity of the EU as a geopolitical actor is put to the test in the Balkans, since geopolitical competition is high amongst the big global powers.
