which is known in literature as balkanization.

GEOPOLITICAL DETERMINANTS OF INTERETHNIC RELATIONS ON THE
BALKAN PENINSULA
Summary
Geoconflictology is a new scientific discipline which analyses territorially origin, forms and effects of conflicts. Balkan is a geopolitical region which may be some
kind of laboratory for geoconflictology. These region is already known in literature per
model of balkanization. Balkanization is some kind of ethnic and religious conflicts metaphor, state, cultural and religious nationalism and isolations, politically and territorially
attrition, ethnic and transborder impatience, disagreements, foreign influences and dominations. The balkanization model has not only political genesis and economic, social and
other kind of genesis too, but almost each conflict has spatial form of manifestation.
Conflicts of Balkan Peninsula almost always had territorially aspect and were finished
with reconstructions of political maps. Content of these paper is about territorially reasons and consequences of ethnic conflicts on the Balkan Peninsula.
