Abstract

All Western Balkan countries (WBCs) are interested to became a members of
the European Union (EU). One of the basic preconditions for that is the rule of
law and advancement of human rights and freedoms, whose standards should
be harmonized with the European legislation. In that direction, the
convergence of the legal culture and legal awareness in the WBCs is necessary,
which are still influenced by their own traditions from the past and by the
former legal and political order in which they existed.
In that direction is the basic paradigm of this paper - to determine whether and
to what extent the European integration processes of the WBCs contribute to
changing the legal awareness and legal culture of their citizens and other
relevant stakeholders in society, in the direction of accepting new value
orientations and norms of behavior, which will lead to the promotion of human
rights and freedoms and the standards of justice and security, as a basic
precondition for a truly just and humane society.
Key words: Western Balkan countries, European integration processes,
convergence of legal culture and legal awarenes
