Abstract: The cessation of hostilities between western European countries after the Second World War had become the main preoccupation of European leaders. Bored with wars and hostilities, they decided to integrate their economic sectors by establishing the common economic area respectively establishing the European Community. Indeed, the present article tents to argue that the European Union historic mission to end hostilities between nations/neighbouring countries by economic integration is still alive in the case of western Balkan countries. In order to argue such hypothesis, a comparing approach between the historical and current relationship between Kosovo and Serbia in one side and relationship between France and Germany before the existence of the European Union and after, is applied, which comparison proves that the historic mission of the European Union is still alive and will remain for Western Balkan countries until all of them become members of the European Union.
