The article aims to contribute to the discourse on the latest armed conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh by analysing its causes and implications. Starting with the failure of the diplomatic process, it examines various factors, ranging from imbalances in local armed forces to broader changes in the region's geopolitical order that contributed to a shift in dynamics in this unresolved dispute and the outbreak of a new armed conflict between armenia and azerbaijan. azerbaijan defeated armenia decisively thanks to military superiority gained through increased military spending and political, military, and logistical assistance from Turkey. with this in mind, Turkey's role in the dynamics of this conflict is regarded as crucial. Furthermore, given Russia's traditional role as a mediator in unresolved conflicts in the post-Soviet space, changes in Russian-azerbaijani and Russian-armenian relations are analysed as factors that influenced the creation of conditions in which azerbaijan would feel strong enough to launch a new war. Russia's response is being considered in particular because, despite initial restraint, it has preserved its role as a key mediator in achieving peace in the region, seizing the opportunity to further strengthen it by deploying peacekeeping troops. although the armistice agreement ended the war, the question of the disputed area's final status remained unresolved. Because this is a critical

The EU enlargement to 25 members has significantly changed the political and economic map of the contemporary Europe. EU has become a relevant factor in international relations. At the same time there are certain dilemmas concerning the prospects for the future development and nature of the Union. Considering the fact that the EU geopolitical position has moved eastwards the author wonders how far the Union might spread towards the East, i.e. where the boundaries of the united Europe might be, and what should be the EU policy towards its Eastern neighbors (Russia, Byelorussia, the Ukraine and Moldova)

The article looks at how the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) came to be, its fundamental ideas, and how its institutions operate. Even though the EAEU has made some progress compared to previous post-Soviet integration efforts, questions remain about whether it will achieve its objectives, and what its prospects are. By examining the main political, legal, and economic characteristics of the EAEU, the EAEU's inherent flaws and how they limit its outcomes are made clear. Despite its proclaimed goal of being primarily an economic integration project, the EAEU has failed to deliver on its promises because it is founded more on geopolitical rather than economic commitments. Internal weaknesses, such as Russian interests in the region, economic challenges within member states, economic and political strength disparities, and general mutual distrust exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, further hinder the EAEU's potential. External challenges, such as the European Union's and China's role in Russia's "near abroad" and extended Western sanctions, impede the EAEU's integration progress. The article also examines certain benefits and the constraints of Serbia's cooperation with the Eurasian Economic Union. By doing this, Serbia's policy to keep moving toward European integration while keeping strong economic and political ties with Russia, an essential member of the Eurasian Economic Union, is considered.
