Description
Many of the countries of central, eastern, and southeastern Europe have begun the transition to democracy in the last decade, which requires extensive reform of state systems, including education. Some of these countries, such as the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, have already made significant progress in this transition; others, however, including the countries from the Balkan Peninsula, are at the beginning of the process. Montenegro, one of the six republics of the former Yugoslavia, falls in the latter category. Numerous factors delay the transition from socialism to democracy in the Balkan Peninsula. Primarily, the political environment in the region is unstable and security unsure in the wake of numerous long-fought conflicts concerning national, ethnic, and religious tensions. Hundreds of thousands of people have died and millions have become refugees, the refugees have become an additional burden in the states to which they fled. As societies in the Balkan Peninsula strive to transfer from a socialist economy to a capitalist system, they have experienced a decline in the standard of living. Also, a high unemployment rate has led to the growth of a "gray economy" that is fueled by corruption, smuggling, and illegal trade.
